Hi there,

two persons asked for the Zappa Mexico II "Weal Deeb" settings by mail (my hint in Jim's thread).

No problem:

Code: Select all

Aggressive futility prunning On
Eval Passed Pawn Scoring 102
Eval Pawn Scoring 102
Eval Minor Scoring 104
Eval Major Scoring 108
Eval Kingsafety Scoring 200

I think the "Eval Kingsafety Scoring 200" is a bit to high.
Better is 150 ... loud thinking!

Hi Gabor again,

"Eval Kingsafety Scoring 150"
is a new setting variant for a great engine from the year 2008, 17 years ago.

More or less a NEW an improved "Dr. Weal Deeb" setting.
Try it out and have fun, vs. newer available engines.

Games are great, Zappa is playing with 2800 Elo with 1 core.

PS: We should never forget our history, also in such threads!
That always lightens the mood a bit.

For Sylwy ...
If Weal Deeb read that and answered here ...
Oh my god ...
