Subject: Ratings of CM8000 "Personalities"

Hi all,

When I bought CM8000, I was looking for a product that would help me to improve
my own playing strength. This may be a radical view for some here, but I must
say that The King engine is ample to my requirements in this regard - the
features are more important to me than the fact that The King may or may not be
n Elo points behind <my favourite chess engine> on the SSDF list.

One of those features which has been really helpful is the selection of
personalities of different strengths. Of late, though, I've been working on a
chess engine of my very own (Blikskottel), and while I wait for FICS to set up
my (C) account (should be Real Soon Now :) ), I have been testing with various
WinBoard engines as well as the CM8K personalities to try and calibrate things.
Does anyone have any idea as to the accuracy of the assigned personality
ratings? "The Chessmaster" claims a rating >2800 on my PIII-800 notebook, which
seems somewhat unlikely.

Thanks
Adam Oellermann
