The CM9000 ReadMe file carries some more info. (This is what I was thinking about when referring to John Merlino saying something about a bug in this area; it's not a bug, just not very accurate!) "13. Although you can play Rated Games against user-created personalities and imported Winboard engines, we recommend that you refrain from doing so. It is very difficult to accurately determine the rating of a personality that you create, or to accurately calculate how well an imported engine will play on your computer. Therefore, although you may play Rated Games against these types of personalities, it is possible, and perhaps quite easy, to make your overall rating less accurate when you do so. The ratings for the personalities in Chessmaster were tested over many thousands of games, a large portion of which were played against rated human players. The ratings for these personalities is believed to be accurate to within 50 points of their "real world" equivalent. Only playing Rated Games against these personalities will keep your rating as accurate as possible." (Source: CM9000 ReadMe.txt)
