Press RED to return to the Options list, and RED again to resume play. Now as long as the current style 
is ‘User1’, The computer will (e.g.) be more reluctant than usual to exchange bishop for knight and 
more keen to exchange knight for bishop. It will also be more reluctant to part with its queen, even for 
a nominal material equivalent. Since its own queen is now priced more highly than the opponent’s, it 
will tend to avoid a queen exchange.
