Subject: GUI and playing strength

Author: Brian Thomas

How do the various GUIs (Fritz or CM, for example) dumb down the playing
strength when handicapping?  For example, Kurt if you're reading this, I took
some CM personalities, got the numbers via a Crafty log file, and brought them
into Fritz.

I was a bit surprised that the playing strength was so strong... so I tried
bringing in CM's weakest personality and it too played very strong.  It dawned
on me there that the personality doesn't really handicap it much in effect, so
this is obviously the GUI dumbing things down.  Is this accurate?  And if so,
out of curiousity, how do GUIs do this from a logic point of view?

Thanks,
Brian
