This setting basically is a combination of Graham's CM9_Assassin and some of my
own ideas.

My opinion is that when the pawn value is lower than the other material values,
that Chessmaster tends to give up pawns too easy, especially in blitz games.

The increased queen value makes CM not quite as eager to trade the queen for two
rooks, or other questionable exchanges.

Most of the strong commercial engines are quite capable of sending a crushing
attack on Chessmaster. That is why I think "myks" needs to be increased, even
from the standard "myks=155" that used to be sufficient. Lessening "opks" gives
CM an opportunity to focus on other areas, but if it is lowered too much CM
might struggle with being too passive.

Chessmaster is relatively bad at preventing passed pawns, so I bumped up "oppp"
to help it cope.

To create this setting under Chessmaster, just make queen value = 9.3 and the
rest of the settings below are the same in the GUI.

CM9_Justice
opq=103 myq=103 cc=102 mob=108 myks=160 opks=135 oppp=115 mypp=102 pw=102 sel=12

CMX_Solomon coming next!!
