Will happen before long.

(Slight hint: they are a combination of known settings, just like 5555 was. :)

The problem is that I believe there are no "absolute best settings" for CM.
For example, the 6666 settings seem to be worse than standard 6000 at faster
time controls (Didzis tried it against 6000-SS10 on a slower machine and it got
slaughtered).
Especially the "DEEP" variant (with SS=32 and max depth=64) played *very* bad at
Blitz.

Just like 5555 which is awesome for 40/120 on machines around 233 MHz but only
above average at 40/120 on the fastest systems.
So you could say 6666 is optimized for longer time controls on very fast
machines. I.e. you probably will get (much?) worse results if you play 30/game
on a 200 MHz machine with it etc.
