Hi Michael
You are wrong. The programmer is only interested in the strongest
CM9-settings which then can be "translated" via the logfile output for use
outside the CM9-GUI. If params are only changed under Fritz-GUI, Johan de
Koning cannot identify the original parameters of his engine. I know this
for sure and that's the reason why I am always asking for the original
CM9-settings and why I strictly avoid to use settings that are not
based on a CM9-GUI-setting. The whole problem has already earlier been
posted here, see http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/messages/39159.htm
