i have noticed it too (the fact that it loosing bad games). I think the program is too much ram hungry!! when i showed my games to the author, he said my cpu was "swapping" and as a result choosed bad moves during the games. I had no problems with earlier version b-18 (or something like that). but the latest versions seems to play weak (atleast on my computer).

I guess 2 (for 4-piece TBs) and 4 (for 5-men TBs) are enough.
