I would be very careful when using handicapped personalities to gauge my rating. You must use the full strength and best setting which CM has and play against it. If you play enough games against it you can calculate your approximate rating. You could use the SSDF rating of CM as your starting point to calculate your rating. Please note that SSDF rating does not translate well to FIDE or USCF rating. However, it will give you a more accurate rating rather than using the personalities ratings. Laurence
