All my games which I mention for this post were played two minutes for each
side. My settings for CM6K which I have posted here before over 40/2hr time
settings beat the Faber ones, and the Faber ones at that time setting also beat
the CM6K standard settings. but I am talking about 2 minutes a side for these
games.

But tell me if those Faber settings you have win in two minute a side games. if
they do then it is very strange, because in total I have played over 300 games
against Faber and Standard settings, which at that time setting you can do in a
short period of time, and the standard settings win easily. usually by about 10
games in a 40 round tournament.

I use a PII 450, 256 Ram and 64med hash. And a 24 meg video card if that plays a
part. So at the time level I mention I would be very interested to see what
results you come up with.

Play a quick 100 round tournament overnight and post the game results.
