To the contrary, it's acurate against computers but not humans.  The strenght of
the different persolanlities were deteremined by playing games against the other
CM personalities.  For example, try to play Lacey... she has the same settings
as the Chessmaster with the exception of depth=1.  She gives me a lot more
problems than some of the other personalities rated higher than her (at least at
the 5 min +3 Fisher Bonus I usually play at).
