Does that mean I can create an ELO 1800 personality for CM which will always
play at the ELO 1800 level?  If so, does this mean that it would play all phases
of the game [openings, middlegame, endgame, and transitions] at that performance
level?

Similarly, can I create a dozen distinct personalities each of which will play
at a different performance level?  P(1)= 1600, P(2)= 1700, P(3)= 1800,
etceteras?

If so, I'm going to get the latest CM and throw away my Fritz7. [I may keep
Fritz around just for post-mortem analyses until CM gets stronger than Fritz.]
