[PGN snipped]

One comment on the games (which are from my site, BTW) though:
Whether these settings really make CM 5500 stronger remains to be proven
- CM 5500 (with default personality) got similiar results against the
top competition.
So anyone reading about this for the first time should not prematurely
conclude that the Walter-Pilz settings make CM 5500 much stronger to the
extent that it exceeds Rebel or Hiarcs or MChess in playing strength.
But further testing will show more.
