"For reasons I note below, I don't think you'll find an engine that plays like a human player, but if you have a PC try the free Lucas Chess (http://www-lucaschess.rhcloud.com/index.html)"

 

Thanks Mick.  Appreciate the suggestion.

Dude, thanks you are awesome! 

I went to bed at 11am this morning, after I downloaded that goddamn Lucas Chess. I couldn't stop messing with it for 6 hours.

Thanks for the suggestion MickinMD. I was specifically wanting to build my own personalities (With certain ratings and strengths) just with different play styles. I'm not sure how to dial them in from your post, but would there be a way to choose say, a 1500 engine, and a 1800 engine, and an 2000 engine, and make three personalities out of each with say, an "Active" playstyle, a "Aggressive" Tal like playstyle, and a positional, Karpov/Petrosian playstyle?

Engines before Stockfish play near to human GMs. Look for old engines of the 2000s like Fritz 7, Junior 6, Hiarcs 6, Shredder 7.
