I could take your CM Queen setting and maybe change one parameter by a point. This would make, depending on what I changed very little difference to your personalitiy strength, and mine would be pretty much identical. So no matter what setting you say is the best, there will always be more settings to test. I also have little doubt that you have tested all of the other personalities that have been floating around since the release of this program, and even going back to CM5000, in which some setting were transfered from and altered. I have had numerous settings better than the default. And also had good result against the SS=10, even beaten it on numerous occasions. But in the long run after much testing I settled on CMSS=10 settings. I had a CM6Cummings personality which in my limited testing beat all the other settings floating around at the time. But in the end gave up on it, I had spent long enough testing. One setting might beat all other CM settings, but it may loose against another chess program, where as the setting that lost in the CM tournaments, can usually beat another chess program. That said test what you like, give your result, and hopefully at the end you will feel as though you achieved something. Unless CM8K makes up for the CM7K disgrace, then no matter what settings you use, chessmaster will be dead in the serious chess community and no one will care. CM6K had a buzz around it. CM7K fizzed out very fast.
