It's just that your use of the word "boss" conjures up an image of a personality that a 1400 rated player would have trouble defeating. Perhaps you didn't mean "boss" in the way i took it. And i am not making the assumption that the personalities are approximately 1400, only that they must be at a level a 1400 player can defeat. Do the personalities get stronger with each advancing chapter? Dave
