The problem here is that Jon's rating came strictly from comp vs. comp games.
The opponent engines have no idea about his (very obvious) weakness, and,
therefore, do not know there is something there that is very easy to exploit.
That's part of the fun of Chessmaster's many personalities (in my opinion) --
figuring out the weaknesses of the supposedly stronger players, learning how to
beat them, and moving on to the next one.
