The reason I bought CM6000 (and enjoy Power Chess) is because of the personalities. It's much more fun to play one of them repeatedly than it is to say "I beat CM4000 on the 'light' setting". In fact, I have a great (imaginary) rivalry going on with Power Chess' "Monster" personality. While I have questioned why zillions of posts on CM6000 are necessary, I *do* enjoy the heck out of the program, primarily because of the personalities.
