Ridiculous thought maybe but i have a feeling i >know who would run scared. You are the one who missed the point. Kurt said that his chessmaster setting are based on games against other opponents and not based on games against other personalities. My opinion is that an improvement should be also an improvement against the default personality If something is better against other opponents and not against the default personality then it probably because of some weakness of the other opponents. The other opponents may get better in the real tournament and it may stop to be better in the real tournament (we do not know if what is good against shredder7.04 is good against shredder7.06 that played in the tournament). I understand johan if he does not like this kind of improvement. Uri
