There is also my settings called "Dissident Aggressor". This is an insanely aggressive setting I created to play none stop attacks, which has the ability to find amazing attacks that other engine do not find. Although it is weaker than some, it's style is incredible to watch and play against, IMHO.

[Dissident Agrressor]
[ZappaMexicoII]
UCI_ShowCurrLine=2
Threads=auto
Enable Null Move=2
Enable History Pruning=2
Enable Singular Extensions=2
Enable Mate Extensions=2
Enable Futility Pruning=2
Aggressive Futility Pruning=2
TB Min Depth=4
Null Move R4 Min Depth=100
Singular Margin=75
Singular Margin PV=50
Eval Passed Pawn Scoring=125
Eval Pawn Scoring=135
Eval Minor Scoring=70
Eval Major Scoring=70
Eval Kingsafety Scoring=500
Internet Lag=0
Contempt=20
Hide Fail Highs=2
Print PV Tips=1

Thanks for posting this :D

These settings are being tested intensively at long time controls and after more than 600 games are 20-30 Elo better than the default....
But you have to test it against a wild range of opponents to achieve the improvement....
