Hi Kurt,

I'm aware that you regard testing settings against each other as meaningless.
However I believe that the ultimate CM9000 setting should perform well against
both other engines AND other CM settings. Ray and I have run extensive testing
in both areas and to me this is the final piece of the jigsaw. Many CM9000 fans
have been looking forward to this tournament incuding myself! All our data will
be released at the completion of this tournament and then those interested can
draw their own conclusions,

Regards, Graham.
