I think the operators use their own settings (Pillen and Kleinert). I don't know
if they have published those settings or if they want to do so. If you want to
get in contact: See the group tables (Standing) at:

The Chessfun settings are good, or the settings Kurt Utzinger has found. There
are more of them... I used to collect them (hoping the best would "crystallize"
sooner or later, which doesn't seem to happen :o).

There are some general things most of these settings have in common AFAIK, i.e.
the selectivity setting - default 6 - should probably be increased (as known
from previous CM versions).

The Chessfun pages contain an overview of many settings:

The output shown there is from a very good freeware CM8K personality editor:
