Engine tuning: Fact or fiction? Nimzo 7.32, Shredder4 and Rebel Century now offer a huge number of possibilities to change engine parameters. The user can try to create a special parameter pattern for a distinct aim, e.g. in long time analysis a change of selectivity might be appropriate. To invent a better engine with a special style seems to be a very challenging task. Perhaps mostly impossible, even if Schroeder promises a prize for the best engine tuner of Rebel century. But for chessmaster 6000 special successful settings were published. The aim to find a better style against a special opponent seems to me the easier, more promising, task. Elder Nimzo-versions had special settings against Fritz, Hiarcs or Junior. And tests confirmed, that there were slightly better results. Has someone already tried to create a better Nimzo, Shredder or Rebel against e.g. Fritz, Junior or Hiarcs. How were the results? What is the estimation of experts? Can engine-tuning be successful?
