I played a tournament between 8 of the personalities and the results were the
correct order in the ratings. Each played each other twice, these were five
minute games a side.
Plus the personalities rating that I choose were not that close together, I did
try an mave around a 60 point gap between then and on some 100 points.
I found that a personality with a close rating to another in say a four game
match can on occasion win. Just like in the real chess world :-)
