Does anyone know the accuracy of the ratings on Chessmaster 9000 opponents? I seem to be falling in the 1400-1500 range on Chessmaster 9000, and it's ironic I carry around a 1400 on RHP, and that my inflated Yahoo rated is 1600 usually. It all adds up. Are those opponents truly rated USCF or ELO by strength??? Anyone?

I must not take computers/correspondence seriously becuase I am a 1580 USCF, 1500 Yahoo, and probably lower here. I need to learn that "chessatwork" doesn't allow me to glance at a position and play like it's blitz (the only thing I will play on yahoo).
I was also a 1450 on ChessMaster 9000 in 5min 9blitz) games.

ChessMaster 9000 has a 2715 point rateing in SSDF. It has played 376 games in a 256MB Athlon 1200 MHz computer. This rateing is vs other programs.

Originally posted by powershakerNo? A stronger computer will give a program a bit more playing strength. Playing alot of games against various ChessMaster 9000 personalities within two hundred rateing points above and below your rateing will only give you a true ChessMaster 9000 playing strength rateing?

Also the trouble with someone else looking at a game you've played and trying to take a guess at you level is say theres 3 players one rated 1200 one rated 1650 and one rated 1900. Dispite the 250 point difference the two higher rated players moves will probably match quite closely from most positions because the weaker player would make mistake they both could understand and there would normally be a key move to take advantage of that mistake and a forced or clear varition after. You pretty much have to play club players with known ratings and find one whos about the same as you to get a good idea of what you might be.
Originally posted by RahimKI upped the RAM in the thing, too. I have drawn a couple of games against 9000's 1600 players, and won a good many in 1500s and I normally feel totally comfortable playing 1400s, but they make some mistakes that I would never make. When I play the 1500 ratings, I feel like I'm playing myself, because it's a real struggle - mostly ending in draws and a win sometimes for me. So, I think I'm around 1500s. But, right now I have a 1406 on Chessmaster 9000 because I haven't been taking some of my games seriously. I'm going to try and see how high of a rating I can obtain first. After 92 games, I've accomulated a standard rating of 1406 and I play the standard games (40 moves in 40 minutes) like I'm playing a blitz game of 5 minutes. I don't even think long. So, I'm going to try and play the games very seriously from now on.
With that kind of labtop running chessmaster 9000 i would say the chessmaster ratings should be pretty close to the real uscf ratings. So if your getting 1500 chessmaster you should be around 1500-1600 Uscf, depending on what time setting you are using. Like blitz vs longer games, etc...
Originally posted by RahimKRahim, I reached a 1510 standard rating on Chessmaster 9000 today, and I have a 1465 OVERALL rating on Chessmaster (an average of all three [blitz, bullet and standard ratings]). So, I'm pretty excited. I'm going to try and play some high 1400 players on there, and see if I can't get my rating even higher. 🙂

p.s. Oh, I also drew a 1500s player today in standard time 40/40 and won a game of bullet chess against him in 3/0 minutes. Woo hooo!
Nice job. I got chessmaster10000 and deep fritz 9. I was playing in some of those standard tournaments chessmaster offers with 10 min for each side and I would win the tournaments with under 1200 but every 30 games or so, i would lose to a 1000-1200 player mostly cus i was playing fast. This was on a 2.4 Ghz labtop, and i heard chessmaster 10000 is much stronger then 9000. I think my rating on there was about 1700. I played Josh at age 7? i think, he was 1600 and i beat him once and lost once and i was playing blitz, i think it was 15 min each side and i was just whipping out the moves without thinking.
