Yes, I have CM 6000. I would prefer to have a random system as opposed to a set
system. Otherwise, I will have to go from personality to personality to get a
different depth. It would be nice to just play a "1800" personality and
sometimes it play 6 moves in book and sometimes 10. And, it could "forget", just
like a human, and play some slightly inferior move on move 4 and give me an
opportunity to play a game with an opening advantage.

Since I got so few replies to this thread, I assume that this is currently a
pipe dream. I wonder why none of the commercial guys didn't implement this type
of idea. I guess they are more interested in creating the perfect player than
the perfect player for each individual.
