Don't forget CM's default settings are also quite passive. It has scored like 15 draws in 20 games so far... I have also been fiddling with the Selective Search setting quite a bit. Problem is that for every depth there are positions where it fails miserably. "Lower" settings (i.e. 5-10) seem to be better in most endgames while higher settings (like 32) have their merits only in selected endgames. For most middle game positions, I can see hardly any difference between SS10 and SS32. SS=8 produces the best average results on the LCT 2 suite, with 10 and 32 coming close. 5-7 are worse most of the time, but not significantly. Anything below 5 is bad to really bad. Only SS=0 is a really really bad setting, even on a superfast machine. I proved it. :) --- Shep
