Some of these custom settings may well be stronger than The King 3.23 if played
in the Fritz GUI. The sel=12 setting seems to make the most difference. However,
what everyone may not be aware of is that although The King 3.23 plays with a
sel=6 setting in the Fritz GUI, in it's own GUI it plays with a sel=9 default
setting. This is because the engine sets sel=6 but the CM9000 GUI sets sel=9.
Therefore, for the King to play as default in the Fritz GUI it should be given
the setting sel=9.

I wonder if there is such a big differnce between some of these custom
personalities and the King playing with the real default of sel=9.
