I will try to create a different new chessmaster 9000 personalities[I dont have chessmaster 10000,sorry] thanks for posting the settings in another thread. I plan to create 10-20 different settings plus the default one,put all in a tournament and I will do the same test against different engines. It sure must be a huge testing amount,I will report the settings if i find something great about its play. is blitz 3 good for testing chessmaster personality?I hate long time controls because I have got many other games to play :) Did you notice different style of play in all those user created chessmaster personality?did they perform well,better than the default one? I usually run testing when i'm away. thanks >Hope this helps, >Graham.
