Hello, I have been playing against Chessmaster 6000 on a Pentium 133 machine with 64MB RAM. I am an experienced tournament player, both OTB and Postal (OTB about 1800), and the program beats me like I stole something. Even the weakened personalities in the 1800-2000 rating range seem unusually tough to finish off in "rated" play. For example, several of the personalities play "intentionally" poor in the opening. I usually gain a substantional positional advantage, or maybe a pawn or two up, then, all of a sudden, the program plays quite strong. Am I imagining all of this? I have all of the standard DOS programs, Fritz3, Rebel10, MCP8, etc. and it seems to me that CM6000 is just as strong as these against humans, especially in G/60 or less. Any guesses for the estimated USCF rating of the CM personality on this machine? Also, are the "personality" ratings USCF or international ELO estimates? Thanks in advance, Gerald
