Basically, the window only checks to see if one of the personalities in the game is named "Chessmaster". If it is, then the "Chessmaster" checkbox is disabled. You are correct in what you said above, however, if your alternate Chessmaster is named something other than Chessmaster. I hope that made sense.... jm
