Ok Graham, then everything is clear now!
I didn´t consider the different time controls ...

But to say the truth:
I´m almost never playing with all these King settings - I only collect them. :)
The main purpose of the King for me is in mate finding, and in this task it
is really very good and fast.
However therefor I´m using only its default settings, because I´m not sure
if any of those dozens special settings would have an advantage -
but maybe you (as ´CM setting expert´ :)) have a suggestion for me,
which setting might enhance (i.e. speed-up) the King´s mate finding process?

Regards,
Franz.
