I liked the banner that you were using for it, can I have a copy? If yes, please give me a name or something to give credit to for the art.
Hello, Jay!
Congratulations for the convincing Tournament victory of Berserk! It was really impressive! Surely, Berserk deserves ro be included to some stronger tourneys.

Here is the original Berserk image that I used:

Honestly, I don't know who are the owners of this art. I've just found it by google search here:

Most of the changes in Benjamin.eng file are common for the ES, ES2, and ES3 versions:

[Pawn Value = 117] (default = 100)
[Knight Value = 125] (def = 100)
[Bishop Value = 125] (def = 100)
[Rook Value = 124] (def = 100)
[Queen Value = 120] (def = 95)
[King Safety = 180] (def = 400)
[Pawn Structure = 105] (def = 110)
[Pawn Pressure = 90] (def = 100)
[Bishop Pair = 105] (def = 100)
[Bishop Pair Extra = 105] (def = 100)
[Attacking = 240] (def = 450)

The only parameter that differs in three versions is [Passed Pawns]:
110 in ES
102 in ES2
100 in ES3
(default = 125).
Thanks, stronger settings than default for sure. As long as the intended attacking style is not greatly impacted, these may be keepers. :)
