NSEW=MoreSel=1 is definitely better than the default settings (between 10 and 20
elo points I would say).

RiskySel=1 is horrible. Don't lose your time trying that.

I know you like to play with the undocumented settings, but this time you
couldn't guess.

RiskySel has to be set at least to 2. Higher settings (3, 4 and so on) result in
less speed gain but more reliable play. 1 is absolutely unreliable.

RiskySel is an attempt to increase the selectivity with a new method. But this
attempt failed.

The best value for RiskySel is the default value: 0 (disable this feature).
