using a cm personality for analysis

Post by ozziejoe »

It is becoming clear from various tests that that the default cm personality can be substantially improved (maybe 40 to 50 points, maybe even more).

I have two questions I am hoping some of you can answer.

1) I don't think i've ever seen an engine whose default parameters were so bad. How the heck does the auther, de koning, settle on such inferior parameter values?

2) Is there any way to make the king use the imrpoved personality for analysis, rather than the defalut chessmaster personality? I am talking about using the engine in the cm gui. I reckon with some of the discoveries made by the testers, the engine is now strong enough to use for analyses.
