Okay, I will ask Chrilly and tell you as soon as possible ;-) Sorry! Here are my settings I use for Varguz on ICC: PVal=110 NVal=420 BVal=425 RVal=685 QVal=1280 Remark: These are values for the Nimzo 7.32 Winboard engine. I increased QVal from 1240 to 1280 because otherwise Nimzo likes to exchange his queen for the opponents rook + bishop + pawn which is definitely poor (at least for Nimzo) but keeping R + R > Q.
