I hope you realize Benjamin 2.0 isn't a normal engine optimized for elo performance but (as the webpage states) a Tactical Analysis Engine for quickly discovering tactical shots estimated 200-250 elo less when playing games.

Nevertheless good luck with your tournament.

I know but I'm trying to find settings suitable for practical play.

Hi,
Curious, what are Benjamin's ES2/ES3 settings (if you're willing to share)?
Thanks!

Curious, what are Benjamin's ES2/ES3 settings (if you're willing to share)?

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).

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.
