     Hi Michael
     Just right: values that are not based on an original and
     possible CM9-GUI-setting are nothing worth and not serious,
     in any case of no help for the programmer as nobody knows
     why the engine plays well/worse. And a serious tester should
     in principle know what he is doing. Just my opinion.
