The default "ChessMaster" personality. Before you adjust any knobs, save it as anything else. Out of the box. >Also could you post results of some of your matches. Thanks. I cannot, as there was no reason to save them. Just use the option in ChessMaster (4000 or 5000, I cannot imagine 5500 which I do not have is any different) to play a computer vs computer tournament. Say between the ChessMaster personality and the amended one (W-Pilz say), or involve more players. Give it a reasonable time per move (as far as CM permits ;-6 ) and leave it running. Then look at the result. When I "ran" these, ChessMaster almost always came out on top. When it didn't, and X scored higher, a one-to-one tournament vs X would settle it back in favour of the default personality. Hence my skepticism. >Most of the 4000 personalities,beat me at 5seconds/move, and I am a 1450uscf >player, especially "chessmaster" & famous players. The others I have more of a >shot. You do not mention your hardware. On a modern-ish Pentium, Chessmaster will annihilate a 1450 uscf player in all its personality guises... You must make it weaker in order to win, and I've no knowledge of how to do this (there may well be a feature there to do this - I have not looked - or else just rack some of the controls to silly values, like Rook = 1 ;-0) ). As I wrote below: >>My evidence is drawn from matches "within" CM i.e. No matches / tourneys against humans or other programs were involved. Kind regards fca
