First, what are your recommendations for the settings of the Zarkov 4.0
engine.  I'm using +-  100 or 1 pawn, +/- at 50 or a half a pawn and += at
25 or quarter pawn.  How does that sit with everyone?

Suppose I want to study my games as white.  I make aup a pgn file in
Chessbase and create a new book in Bookup and import those pgn games.  If I
backsolve, I get all kinds of weird assessments, for instance - for d4, -
for c4, - for Nc3 because I eventually lost the game by some move up near 20
or something.  But there isd no way that d4, c4 and NC3 deserve negative
assessments.  How do you get accurate and correct informant rates or numeric
assessments in there?

Same thing happens when i backsolve a whole database of Caps games, for
instance after e4e5, Nf3 Nc6, d4 gets a negative because the game was lost
by Cap in 1901 when he played Principe in Havana.  OK, that was that game,
but there is no way that d4 is a bad move or that it leads to a losing line.
Cap lost the game much later on.  So what do you do?
