Post by NIKBRS »

Hi

I like this portable! I perceved that brute force program of it is better that the selective search.
Somebody confirms this?

Hi, Regarding selective versus brute, I'm sure you will find the
selective will give better playing strength than brute at least on the
fast time controls, and probably on *any* time control.
I don't know which is the default setting on the Maestro, but I've
got a Radio Shack RS2250XL and it has brute force as the default.
A silly idea.
