Hi Ray
CM9_Assassin is a very good example to demonstrate that
it does (almost) never make sense to make such tests.
On the other hand: I have never heard about good results
of CM9_Minotaur and/or CM9_Mapi at longer time controls
over 300-500 games vs non CM9-engines but both these
settings are top on Graham's list. I repeat my experience
with CM8k: my "best" setting beating all other CM8-settings
had a very poor performance vs non CM8-engines ... and since
that time I stopped such tests for ever.
