ChessMaster Strength

Sort:
Chessgod123

How strong, in ELO, is the latest version of the ChessMaster program produced? Also, to those who have it, is there a fairly easy way to convert roughly from the ratings of the players on ChessMaster given to their actual ELO rating ability if they were FIDE players (e.g. -200)?

   Well, I have CM 10 and it's Chessmaster personality rating is 2960. My girlfriend has the newest version and it's about 2824 on her Vista system.

   About the conversion, I have no idea. If anyone does know a formula for this, I am interested what my rating would be from CM 10---->USCF or even FIDE  Smile

I am curious too if there is any sort of conversion.  Chessmaster 10 to USCF or FIDE.

 Yeah, I was asking the same thing (what the ELO strength of the program is). I have it myself, so I know the ratings it gives, but I'm quite sure that ChessMaster does not deserve a 2960 ELO rating (more like 2600).

Hey, I'm not jealous. I have nothing but admiration for a guy who can mate the same person in different ways.

   No it doesn't. My Fritz 12 hits a little over 3000 when maxed out but I don't think Ubisoft programming can do that. Chess is not their main concentration but I wouldn't mind being a fly on that wall to see just how they make the CM games and what effort goes into them. Smile
