Go up one level in this thread
I think this has much to do with the way Chessmaster 6000 controlled its levels. I looked at the personality settings, and the level that was around 1500-1600 would have randomness turned way up (which means it might play good until it does something really stupid) and then the next level up had randomness completely turned off. There are quite a few factors that they adjust and each level may have completely different settings from the level next to it. This might be good for creating different personalities, but I don't think it is a good way to "fine tune" the levels. In fact when I played with Chessmaster 4000 and 6000 I created my own levels where I kept most of the settings the same for all levels, but I adjusted just the "strength of play" setting. To me this gave the program a better feel. John Coffey
