 My mistake. By "default personality" I meant the personality which is made
to play as strong as possible. All the other personalities which are made to
emulate a particular style (e.g. Fisher, Karpov, Tal, ...) make the engine
weaker, I think, because some optimal settings are changed.
 OK, I know that chess isn't solved yet, maybe never will be. But if engines
become much more stronger, undoubtedly they will find these BEST MOVES (Uri),
and make very few mistakes. I think that exactly these little "mistakes" make a
particular style. If engines don't make mistakes, their playing style won't be
so variegated than that of today's engine's.
 Of course I could be wrong. Therefore this question. :-)
