Does ChessMaster8000 actually pick several opponents and have them play each
other for a result?  Or does it have a certain probability that the stronger
personality will win the game, picks a random number, and then posts the
hypothetical result of the game?  This sounds like a neat feature if it is doing
what I think it's doing-- simulating a tournament solely for your benefit.  I
like the idea of a large round robin, something you just can't find in human
chess these days.  Could you tell me a little bit more about these tourney
settings?????  I'm quite in the dark as to what they actually are.
