Probably Mindscape offers him better conditions which means more money because
of more sells...

No, the WP-settings are not so good in CM6k. But I have others, still testing.
You may try:
style: attacker/defender -15; selectivity 10
positional: material/position 20; control of center 100; mobility 115; king
safety 160; passed pawns 103; pawn weakness 125
material: queen 10, rook 5.5, bishop 3.5, knight 3.2 (!) and pawn 1.0

This settings produced a fabulous game against Junior4.6 whilst the original
ones lost in the same line.
Please try out these settings and report of your experience, preferably in rgcc.
