That Mephisto Board is Awesome, Thank You for my new favorite board.

PS: AA appears to be handled correctly using the Nvidia 2070S GPU, I will take a look at my Laptop Nvidia MX150 a little later. Scratch That! If I remember correctly the MX Nvidia Cards are not supported in CM11 (I Think it is Stated in the Manual). It only works in my laptop because it is a Dual Video Card system and the other Video card is the on board Intel HD card.

Thanks and Great Work on the Website.

HI
Thanks for the above. The old master personality, is that an improved (stronger) chessmaster personality setting?

Yes plays a little bit stronger. I tested it only in CM-Gui.

It was the only way I could get these two to play. Magnus was insistent that he would only play one game!

PS: After the game, he agreed to play some skittles only if he (Benjamin) agreed not to publish the games. There were many bystanders, I sure hope no one leaks them.

Beth told me that she isn't so happy to play against other CMs
maybe a look here can help
http://descent.at/files/chessmasters_only.html (new added)
CM11 default play strong and isn't so easy to beat.
Maybe you can expect what setting I used for Magnus

Hi.
By any chance does anyone know where the .bmp files are stored for the images for the DEFAULT chessmaster personalities. I cant find them in the Data files or personalities files. I can see a reference to them in the .cap files in the personalities folder. Windows search cant find them, Maybe they are hidden somewhere? Thanks

Sorry no. I tried to find it with resource hacker but no luck. I made a new default pers. "Chess Master" with a new bmp. I added it now to my site.
