I would like to clarify the uncertainty of CMQueen+ creator. Two months ago
I asked which was the best playing personality for CM6000 and at that time I
believe Mr Blas Uri answered that CM6666 was one of the top, therefore, and I
asked him to provide me with the values settings for CM6666 in order for me to
pit it against it, and evaluate the progress of my new CMQueen+ Personality.
After 3 weeks of consistently testing it against CM6666 and having a winning
rate of 65%, I decided to test it against Fritz 6a in a mini match of 50 games,
in game in 30 min per side and reported here on this Message board that it was
better than CM6666 but it lost the mini match by a small margin. At that time I
did not posted the results , but Fritz 6a won by 5 points over CMQuee+. Then
Sarah from Chess Fun asked me for the settings and tested it herself against
Fritz 6a in game in 60 minutes per side, the game ended in a draw, therefore, I
decided to make another improvement before I matched it against Chess Tiger
12.Oe. Finally, I made the last improvement to CMQueen+ by changing the King
Safety from 100 to 110 and the Pawns Weakness from 100 to 112 under the
Positional. This last improvement to the CMQueen+ settings has made it stronger
and more cautious against Human Players, which enables it to prevent a  slowly
gradual king side attack. I admit it this CMQueen+ settinswas not created
ovenight, it took me over two months and plenty of testing with different
personalities and top Chess Programs. The CMQueen+ performs better at time
controls between 15 minutes to 60 minutes, it is not the best Speed playing
settings for CM6000, but it is considered the best so far, at a slower time
control.
