I think current versions are safe to use. What can be considered is
increasing some limits or using the experimental-semeai option, as Dan
suggested. A more adventurous alternative is to use the
experimental-connections option, which does have a net impact on the
regression of about +40 but is not all that mature.

A relevant question is what time limits are used in the tournament and
how fast computers. Do you have any information about this? It would
also be interesting to know what rules are used.
