Again Correct me if wrong! I have played Hundreds of games with the CM6K settings. There are a few floating around. I have played approx, 235 15 min a side games, 157 30min a side games. And about 68 40/2 games, between the Standard settings, also with selective search at max level, this includes the CM6555, and other than have been posted on various sites. and over 500 5min blitz games. The best on each time levels are as follows 5 min blitz - CM6K stardard settings with 2 meg hash 15 min - The CM6K/Cummings settings :-) 4 meg hash 30 min - CM6K standard with selective search at max. 8 meg hash 40/2 - CM6K stanard with selective search at max. 16 meg hash All these games have been played over a long period of time. In the end I found that one setting could win 7 games in a row, then go on to lose 10 in a row. Unless you are going to play thousands of games, I do not think even the amount I have played give a indication of which settings are better. Lets not forget the 5 minute blitz games. CM6K stardard settings won that, after I filtered out all the duplicate games played. In conclucsion I have found it better to play the standard settings with selective search at max, and 16 meg hash tables, against other programs, instead of wasting more time on playing the program against itself.
