Subject: Modifying the Game Analysis Thresholds in CM

Author: John Merlino

For any of you who use Chessmaster's Game Analysis feature (specifically looking
at the "Auto-Annotation" section), here is a way that you can change the
thresholds for the "Slightly Better", "Better" and "Much Better" statements.

Edit your user's INI file (example, if your user name is "CMUser", this file
would be "Chessmaster 8000\Users\CMUser\CMUSER.INI"). Add the following text:

[annotator]
slightly=35
better=65
much=100

The value is the number of centipawns that you want the threshold to START at.
So, in other words, if you want "Slightly Better" to show up if a move is only
0.2 worse than CM's "best" move, then put "slightly=20".

I hope that made sense....

p.s. The defaults are, for some reason that is lost in the mists of time:

slightly=65
better=135
much=450
