THat's the reason why we're not publishing them yet. :) Unless we really see an improvement like the 5500->5555 step, we don't want to recommend any special settings. >As for changing the SS depth as I have read in other places, I have tried this >and for 40/2 time settings I would go no higher than 12 for selective search. How can you tell? If you are judging by the depth CM shows, I think you may be wrong. I have always wondered what exactly the numbers mean, but x/y does definitely *not* mean "x ply brute force, y ply selective"! I have used many personalities where these figures showed things like "1/12" after 2 minutes, and you don't want to suggest CM is looking only 1 ply ahead brute force!? My feeling is that the second number is the ordinary ply depth whereas for the first, I have no clue (the manual isn't really informative about this either). You can see the selective depth is much higher than 12 by looking at the variations CM is tossing out. Also I am not sure what the "Selective Search" slider actually does, i.e. if SS=6 really means "sel. depth = brute force depth + 6" or if it is just some relative number like the "playing strength" slider. --- Shep
