Before the piece is sacrificed, a high focus is likely to be unproductive as the sacrifice may be pushed back. One other note: the six focus settings are fairly conservative. I didn't want to provide a really extreme setting which would completely wreck the playing strength. I will think some more about this, maybe some users would also like to play with really extreme settings. This was one of the ideas of the winfinder but now WinFinder 1.0 is becoming a bit obsolete.
