Maybe it is more effective in many cases, but it can result in bad moves in
other cases. Johan reluctantly said that we could increase the default from SS=6
in CM8000 to SS=9 for CM9000. However, he still remains unconvinced of the
overall benefit of any further increase in that setting.

Increasing MyQueen to 9.1 is another matter, and Johan has told me that he is
going to take some time to look at this possibility.

p.s. Glad you were able to find a copy of the program, Fernando. If I may ask,
was that what that cryptic post from Dann Corbit was about? :-)
