The results you present are not correlating with my results.
Which machines (cpu/speed) do you use, which version of cstal2 ?
Which style do you use ?
CSTal2 is optimized for 40/120 on at least 200 mhz machines.
40/60 is especially against fast searchers a little too less backbone.
It should not compute under 7000 or 8000 NPS otherwise it will lose the
games on tactical mistakes. than getting 10-1 results is easy.

if you want a style against a special program, you can send me an email
and i will send you a style.
you have to tell me WHICH version of the opponent program you use, and
how fast the machine is the opponent program gets. also which cpu.
than i can send you a styling.
