What follows is the latest set of results from 280 games at 40/60’ with various strong CM personality opponents previously posted here. The machine I used is a 1.9G P4 running XP. My settings have been revised since the personality was announced here over a year ago. All personalities were run with ponder off to get all of the CPU. All used CM8000.OBK book except for CM8_Utzinger which used Kostick.OBK. All personalities had equal transposition table size of 128MB. CM128 is the default Chessmaster personality with the only change being 128MB hash.

Give them a try. What does this prove? Nothing. I'm aware of the limitations of small sample sizes etc. All I can say is that it isn't the worst personality I've tried. *S* Steve
