This is my personal experience with CM8K personalities. I do not find them boring, I find them very interesting. For instance Kenji that has a rating of 1756 in my PC is extremely good with the Knights and if you you do not take his knights out of the game in the first few moves it will be a pain to win. There is also for instace T.C that is very easy win the game however when he is almost beaten he will defend himself like a true CM. So you have to be careful not to get to excited and make sure you do not stale mate him at the end. What is very intersting to me is how you can learn to beat a computer personality once you learn its weaknesses. Even though the ratings of 3 of the personalities + CM were scaled against humans, the ratings of some of the personalities are not accurate against humans. For instance Kenji should be rated much higher and Nicolai much lower if we assume that the player does not know its weaknesses. I agree with you that some times you think that you are going to show off your Chess skils against a 1700 personality and you end up playing a 60 move game, it makes you feel some how dumb. Happy Holidays and enjoy CM8K.........Luis
