Ne8 it will always select h7 forcing an exchange of the bishop or to retrieve it to h4 which in either case my latest CMQueen+ settings can detect the consequences even if you set it to move in 1 second per move using my AMD K6-2 500 Mhz. Earlier you mentioned that you were going to modify the King Safety to CMQueen+ settings, under your CMQtest and if you improve it, than you were going to renamed it CMQueen++. If you take a close look at the CM6666 settings where the King Safety and the Pawns Weakness is set to 134, as you can see an attempt to make Chessmaster understand the King Safety was done already. And in another posting that you made you also mentioned that CMQueen+ should be tested against other tactical top programs, this is my logic to your request. If you take a few minutes to go to Sarah's Chessfuns webpages, you will find under the Eastern Fun Tourney under Group 2, in which Chessmaster 6666, Hiarcs 7.32, Shredder 4, LG2000 v 2.5 and AnMon 506 were participating under 60 Mins/side games 8 rounds two with each program, Chessmaster 6666 won under group 2 ahead of two top programs like Hiarcs 7.32 and Shredder 4. Finally, compare the other 60 Mins/side tourney for the Chessmaster 6K settings, in which Chessmaster, CM6666, CMQueen+ and CM SS10 were participating, Keep in mind that CM6666 with the same King Safety and Pawns Weakness set to 134 did not ended in the first two position.
