I think that Thomas is right. In a chess program, there is almost an unlimited
number of parameters to be tuned. You can never exclude that a busy tester can
find a reasonable alternative or even an improvement to the author's favorite
settings.

I can however understand that it may be difficult to convince the author. May be
that Johan is a bit conservative und doesn't want to spoil things.

Kurt, if I were you and I were convinced that my settings are superior, then I
would go on and try to prove it. Perform tournaments with lots of games where CM
standard and CM-KU are competing.
