Zappa Singular Extensions

Post by Albert Silver »

Has anyone tested Zappa Mexico with SE (singular extensions) turned on? At the CB site, the description by Cozzie says:

Both versions come with an implementation of Singular Extensions, the famous Deep Blue search algorithm. They are disabled by default, but they increase the tactical strength of the program at the cost of positional strength.

From Zappa Zanzibar onwards SE are enabled by default, so I think Anthony trusted in them later on.
