sorry, I don´t know how but an old bug has somehow managed to get into the current version of Spike. You can´t switch on elo reduction. Sorry. It should have worked with the uci parameter thus the Arena´s ELO limiting feature is the right way to use.
The contempt value is the value Spike adds to a draw to prevent him to get into repetition draw if playing against weak engines. This has nothing to do with elo reduction.
Greetings Volker
So that means the elo reduction isn't working the Shredder GUI as well?
Under the UCI mode Spike doesn't create a position learning file,nor a book learning one....does it work only under the Winboard protocol

That happened with 1.2 Turin version too. I always had to use it in wb mode to have position learning working.

True....it looks like the learning feature is not functional under the UCI protocol....
