Hello Albert

From results here (Blitz) I think that Ultrasolid helps more than it hinders
most of the time. However this could change at longer time controls.

Am going to look at the SUS settings next until the next beta arrives.

Opponent =  Slightly stronger
Soundness = Ultrasolid.
Outlook =   Slightly pessimistic

For my first results see here :
