      Hard to say but I doubt. If the internal params have
      changed with CM10k, the use of CM9k-settings can't
      give the same good results. Anyway I do not intend
      to test CM10k with other settings as long somebody
      proves on the basis of enough games at slower (longer)
      time controls that such a setting is stronger than
      CM9_Judge2, CM9_R1 or CM9_T05. The default CM10k
      has been tested at http://www.utzingerk.com/cm10k.htm
