Waw this is great news!!!

Did you try to contact CM9000 authors?

What puzzles me is this:

Why Chessmaster comes with the same default setting for all time controls.
Wouldn't it be more interesting to have different settings for different time
controls. Or even better: A utility to determine the best settings given the
amount of Ram, the speed of the processor and the time control. I think if one
knows the ideal settings for different configurations and time control, an
interpolation utility could do the job.

Thanks for posting!
