As a result of this, many people are playing under Fritz-GUI
with settings that are simply impossible for CM9-GUI and therefore
somewhat worthless. I give you below an example of CM8777 settings
having amended params for material/position and from where we can
see what will happen to the params for use under Fritz-GUI:
Chessmaster parameters under Chessmaster 9000 GUI
CM_8777 (Kleinert) settings (chessmaster.cmp)
A/D (Attack/Defender) [ -2] M/P (Material/Position) [ 10]
S/P (Strength of Play) [ 100] C/C (Control of Center) [ 105]
Rand (Randomness) [ 0] MOB (Mobility) [ 115]
MSD (Max Search Depth) [ 99] K/S (King Safety) [ 150]
SS (Selective Search) [ 12] P/P (Passed Pawns) [ 110]
C/D (Contempt for Draw) [ 0] P/W (Pawn Weakness) [ 125]
