You can make as many different personalities as you want for playing or for analysis (or other mentor features). However, the method for changing the mentor personality is undocumented. First, here are the settings for the CM_SKR personality: A/D (Attack/Defender) [ -2] M/P (Material/Position) [ 0] S/P (Strength of Play) [ 100] C/C (Control of Center) [ 105/105] Rand (Randomness) [ 0] MOB (Mobility) [ 110/110] MSD (Max Search Depth) [ 99] K/S (King Safety) [ 155/155] SS (Selective Search) [ 12] P/P (Passed Pawns) [ 100/100] C/D (Contempt for Draw) [ 0] P/W (Pawn Weakness) [ 100/100] OWN OPPONENT Queen [ 9.1] Queen [ 9.0] Rook [ 5.0] Rook [ 5.0] Bishop [ 3.0] Bishop [ 3.0] Knight [ 3.0] Knight [ 3.0] Pawn [ 1.0] Pawn [ 1.0] So all you need to do is create a new personality with these settings (via the "Game -> Set Up Personality" menu item), and save it as "CM_SKR" (or whatever....) Second, to change the mentor personality, edit "My Documents\Chessmaster 9000\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\YOUR_USER_NAME.INI". You can edit this file with any simple Windows text editor like Notepad. Find the "[mentor]" group and add the following line to it: personality=CM_SKR Then save the file and re-launch Chessmaster. Now, if you press CTRL+M to open the Mentor Lines window, you should see "Mentor Lines (CM_SKR)" instead of "Mentor Lines (Chessmaster)" in the title of that window. You can test with as many different personalities as you like by adding lines to the INI file. Just make sure that you comment out any other personalities by adding a semi-colon in front of it. For example, if after you have added the above line to the INI file, you want to go back to the default Chessmaster personality for analysis, just change the line so that it reads: ;personality=CM_SKR Enjoy! jm
