Except for one or two... ;-) (King and CSTal) >HINT: count the number of reactions from my colleagues :-) They are absent now as it is vacation time. ;-) Seriously, they are certainly convinced that the default settings are the best ones but probably because they don't have enough time to tune their settings. Imagine how much time Chris and Johan would have to spend to adjust their numerous parameters. Besides Johan would have to tweak for CM and Tascbase. ;-) Of course they don't have the time nor the resources to do so. >Well... if you don't try you never know of course. > >Ed Schroder Clear, but it is too much work for only one man. I think a good idea would be to build kind of Rebel user group and create sub-groups which have to try different areas, e.g. one is simply adjusting the king safety, another one the passed pawns etc., more combinations possible of course. Just an idea. And of course it probably needs more testers than available and willing. :-)
