My game against Chessmaster XI

Yesterday, I bought Chessmaster XI: Grandmaster Edition and so far I am enjoying it.

 

I went through most of Josh Waitzky's lectures which I found very well explained but lacking in content (especially the endgame ones).

Tonight I played my first game against the engine.

It was a 5|10 game against the engine-personality "T.C" who is described as "mimicking the playstyle of Paul Morphy and Henry Bird". His rating is proclaimed to be 1700.

I think they did a good job mimicking a classical player.

Please take a look at my game and tell me which areas of my play to improve/focus on (opening, tactics, strategy, endgame, etc). 

Also a question: How accurate are Chessmaster ratings? I think a real 1700 plays better?

I played another game against Chessmaster XI today.
This time it was a 10|0 against the engine personality "Slick" who is rated 1781.

I'm very surprised I won.
