Toby vs Rybka / parameters (on) vs (off)

[WuShock]

The Toby 1t engine has 2 parameters "HyperTal" and "Hunter" that can be clicked on , or off. Toby (the owner) recommended that both be clicked on , or both off , but not one on , and one off..........

The following tests were run on a i7 @ 3.75GHz/1 core/ponder off/klo openings/R3 , contempt=0/both x32 versions/ game : 4'2"

With both parameters -on- Toby-R3 ____ 57-43 , +29 -15 =56
With both parameters -off- Toby-R3 ____ 52-48 , +24 -20 =56

Hi,
I found out
"HyperTal" switch has no function. I tested it in around 50 positions from CSS WM-Test using Arena on a dual - both engines loaded and analyzing parallel.
