Subject: About Chessmaster series personalities..

excuse me if this topic has being covered.


It seems to me that chessmaster has this unique ability for users to
tweak  the program's chess "style" .Has anyone experimented and found a
good setting for this program?

Also are there other programs that allow tweaking the style in such a
manner? I know some allow limited styles..Solid,Agressive,active etc
Personaly I think all chess programs should allow this option such that
even non-programmers can help to uncover good styles or Evaultion
tables.. by playing Chess style 1 vers Chess style 2..

Anyone  done a experiment.. say play 10 games of Chessmaster 5000/5500
using various personalities against another top notch computer say Fritz
5.0/Rebel 9, virtual chess2 ,.

Alternatively, use position tests would a difference personality allow
the computer to solve certain tests faster or even allow it to solve
test that it usually couldn't?

Would there be a great difference in results? I would think probably
not. on the other hand if yes, so would rating lists have to take into
account such differences?

More to the point , does anyone know what exactly we are changing in the
evlulation tables when we alter the specfic variables..say Attacker vers
Defender etc..would the progammer of Chessmaster 5000/5500(Wchess
engine? ) like to comment?
