Subject: Chessmaster 6666 results and settings: here they are!

Hi all,

I know I've kept you waiting long enough, so here they finally are, the
requested Chessmaster 6666 settings (last results: draw with Fritz, loss to
Nimzo 98, both 60/game on two PIII-550; overall result now 7:3 for 6666).

As I said, they are, much like the 5555 settings, a clever (?) combination of
settings that were already known, namely the Bednorz settings for CM 6000 and
the piece values mentioned in a recent posting, based on the big statistics
survey by IM Kaufman (IIRC), with some small adaptations:

Attacker/Def.: 3
Sel. Search:   10
King safety:   134 (Bednorz has 133)
Mobility:      104
Mat/Pos.:      -3
Passed pawns:  100
Pawn weakness: 134 (Bednorz has 133)
Center control:103

Pawn:          1.0
Bishop:        3.3 (Kaufman had 3.25; this is "CM 5555 style")
Knight:        3.2 (dto.)
Rook:          5.0
Queen:         9.9 (Kaufman had 9.8 but suggested 9.75; Bednorz settings
opp. queen:    9.7  had "queen = opp. queen + 0.2", thus this choice)

The personality, along with the "Deep" and "Zero" versions, can also be
downloaded from SCCS by going to the "Downloads" section (sccs.cjb.net).
