In other words, the faster the machine, the higher the rating for every personality. This is why sometimes the ratings for these personalities will be different each time you fire up Chessmaster, depending on what else is running at the time. This also accounts for potentially large differences between machines of different processor speed. 3) The "Grandmaster" personalities are all fixed at 2500, regardless of machine speed, probably due to not wanting to cause any heated arguments.... ;-) jm
