Important when XBoard uses the score for adjudications, or in PGN reporting.
<br><dt>-niceEngines priority<dd><a name="index-niceEngines_002c-option-167"></a>This option allows you to lower the priority of the engine processes,
so that the generally insatiable hunger for CPU time of chess engines does not interfere so much

Negative values could increase the engine priority, which is not recommended.

+If an option announced by the engine at startup through the feature commands of the XBoard/WinBoard protocol
matches one of the option names (i.e. "style" or "blunder rate"),
it would be set to the given value (i.e. "Karpov" or 0)
through a corresponding option command to the engine.

Other possible applications are to provide work-arounds for engines that want to see
castling and e.p. fields in variants that do not have castling or e.p.
