Subject: a bug in all the chessbase engines in changing the contempt parameter

I cannot change the contempt parameter of Junior,Hiarcs or crafty
to more than 200(2 pawns).

If I try to change it to 300 the interface changes it back to 200.

I consider it as a bug because I see no advantage of it.
If they assume people usually do not mean to bigger values than 200 then they
can print a warning when someone try to change it to more than 200 but not
prevent me from doing it.

I think the limit should be 9999 and in this case it should show evaluation of
draw only if it can prove that there is at least a draw.
