I have very little experience with this rybka paramater. all I know is the result of monitoring the topic here in the forum.
My understanding is, that a positive setting will make rybka try to avoid exchanges, avoid drawn positions etc.
Does that mean for a negative setting that rybka will play for a draw. ?
I have a correspondence game where I need to get a draw, Rybka is down a pawn and her a pv eval of -1.14 deep in analysis.
I ran rybka overnite (contempt= -100)and she cam up with a very different move from the normal settings. albeit the score is .98 at not yet deep into the search.
Anyhow, am I right about this ?
Thank you
Wayne

In the commercial versions so far, contempt only avoids (or seeks if negative) clear draws (like repetitions, stalemate, insufficient material). All the fancy stuff with contempt will make its appearance in Rybka 3.

Yes, this is the right way to use this parameter - although as Larry says, the contempt mechanism in Rybka 2.3.2a is very limited.
