I did a little test to see which personality was the best in CM6000. I didn't have a lot of time, so I did some tournaments with 5 minutes + 3 sec increments per side. The top two personalities were Kasparov and Chessmaster. I ran a 24 game match between these two personalities at 5 min + 3 sec increment. Kasparov won 16, CM won 1 and the rest of the games were drawn. I was confused. I thought CM personality would be the strongest. So, I increased the time control to 40 moves in 120 minutes in a 12-game match. After 9 games, Kasparov personality has won 5 games and drawn 4. Interestingly, 4 of those 5 wins were as Black. I have not finished game 10 yet, but it's an obvious CM victory, bringing the match to 7-3 with 2 games left, and the match already decided. I think the developers of CM ought to call the strongest personality Chessmaster, and not Kasparov. Baldo.
