CM running on one machine v another program is a pain.
Maybe check out Didzis page at: http://www.konts.lv/usr/Didzis/index.htm

Sorry. The notes on that CM txt document to CMQueen+ were taken from the
person who made the settings. I need to add some other settings and change
the notes. My own opinion is that there are a number of strong settings,
how they perform against programs the likes of Fritz is another story
compared to how they fair v themselves.

Thanks.
