The ratings are accurate in and of themselves, but I have been told that there may be as much as 100 points of error, up or down, when compared with USCF ratings. The ratings were based on several thousand games that were played between the personalities, but WITHOUT humans. So, within the universe of the program, the ratings are accurate, but are only roughly approximate to "reality". Also, as someone else pointed out, once a human figures out a weakness of a certain personality (some are easier to find than others), then it can be easy to beat. A computer will NEVER spot a weakness in another computer, so that weakness can never be exploited by another personality. jm
