Yes, that's it. I added a button to Serious game dialog box so various
parameters (style, hash size, Elo) can be modified directly from here. And
the setup is global (that is the engine will keep values in analysis mode -
of course except ELO limitation). So it makes sense to add several entries
in engine dialog box like :
- Rybka 3 1800 ELO
- Rybka 3 2300 ELO (yeees !)
- Glaurung agressive
- Glaurung normal
etc.
where binaries are the same, only parameters differ.

No, for each entries, the whole process of engine setup has to be followed,
but it is not so complicated (with copy / paste).

I don't know this engine, if anybody tried it and its styles ...
