Cobra is a huge setting, but it is very specifically tuned to long (standard)
games with time controls like 40 minutes per 40 moves and even longer.

Does anyone

Kurt's settings were very good back when he tested, but I think I can safely say
progress has been made on CM9 and CMX settings since he has stopped testing.

Schumacher is probably the strongest blitz setting for CMX.  If you try it
against shredder 8 at longer time controls, it will struggle a bit.  But still
an excellent setting, and possibly the best all-around setting at the moment.

Kurt are you currently testing anymore parameters from your

The highest numbers I have seen are around 196, but I think it is possible to go
to at least 199.  Perhaps the limit is higher, but I don't think it would be
useful.  The number can go as low as 1.
