(Old) Parameter settings for Shredder et al

Post by Dayffd »

Sometime ago there was a flurry of activity about changing the user parameters for engines such as Shredder 9 with names such as Columbus Egg. Are there any such publically available settings for the new and old versions of Shredder and/or other engines?

This personality is around 20 Elo stronger than the default after playing over 400 games at long time controls and it's a good starting base if you want to creat an improved Shredder personality....

Thank you. :) I have some settings of which very few are mine, but after a hiatus of some time, I have returned to my chess engines and have begun running tournaments again. This personality joins the que. :) My time controls tend to be 30 minutes/each/game with eight engines participating in any one tournament.
