Against other CM settings, yes.

I'll need to test it more against other engines, but I suspect it might not be the best setting in that regard.

My goal has always been to find a setting that performs strongly against both other CM settings and against other engines, so I think that CM10th Paralyse and CM9000 Enforcer have the overall edge there.
