Hi Ray,

this looks impressive and also the amount of personalities created. A lot of
fascination comes from all this names, while Behemoth reminds me my favourite
strategy game "Heroes of Might and Magic".

Anyway the first three are pretty close. One of them we will add surely to CEGT
as soon as we have 1000 games for Steadfast and Yoda. Looks like the strongest
settings might finish on the level of Chess Tiger or even Hiarcs in our list.

Keep up the good work for all Chessmaster fans. I am definitely one of them.

Best Wishes
Heinz
