Did they play with the same opening each 2 games and alternating each game?
To be more specific: The game starts with Pers_1 as White and with a specific
opening A. Then in the second game where White will be Pers_2 and Black the
Pers_1 the opening is the same A. Then again Pers_1 has White and starts with an
opening B. Then White is Pers_2 and starts again with the same opening B. And
the procedure continues....  Did you make that?

 I guess you played the match in CM9000 GUI so you don't have the ability to
make such a thing automatically, so the book moves were random and that's why
the score differs.  The strange thing would be if you made the procedure i
described (play with the same opening every 2 games and alternate the 2
personalities each game) and have different results.

One easy-obvious thing you can do, to see if the 2 personalities are the same is
to compare their analysis in 3-4 positions.
