Just checked out the games, it seems a lot of these personalities have something in common with the default ChessMaster, in that they all play positionally balanced. Not too agressive, not too tactical. Only difference is that they all prefer/value pieces slightly differently depending up on the input given. Sometimes reminds me of Slowchess's style.
Btw, I wonder if any of today's strong setting has surpassed/equalized the strength of 2 CPU Chessmaster? I recall Leonidas was just 34 elo behind the 2 CPU several months ago?

Highly unlikely in my opinion, but then I could be wrong.
Your two new settings are going well so far, but still another 40+ rounds to go.

Yes, I regularly day after passing day follow the tournament at the CCRL Forum! It's too early to say anything on those two personalities... I did see enormous jump in rankings round after rounds in the previous CM Challenge. So anything could happen. It just seems very random to me with a lot of luck involved. I have yet to clear my own scepticism. For that, I will run the Grand Blitz for chessmasters personalities alone, I'm excited at the thought of running gigantic tourney full of CM personalities, also with 2 CPU CM and the default CM. Before I begin such a tournament, I'd need your ratings list for all the CM10th personalities, I'd include some of them.

Yes - I'm looking for some sort of consistent performances from the settings that have been in both tourneys.
All of these settings plus a few more are in the CM11 settings and testing thread in CCRL public.

whoops Leonidas is catching up! For some reason, I fear Mark more than Eran...He has such a nightmarish CM personalities, what with Nightfire, Trepidation.. they could well bounce back anytime...

I'd be keeping a closer eye on Eran.
Still a long way to go and things can change quickly with a couple of good or bad rounds for various teams. Good luck (but not too much of course!).
