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 >You are right with the CM settings. Sorry.

I will add a comment, >which states this explicitly. Actually I decided for Queen+ since you came to >the conclusion that it is the strongest CM setting - or am I wrong? 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. Sarah.
