Hello.
At me it is some questions.
1) Me interests, why founders of game change force of game of computer characters from the version to the version? I shall explain on an example. In version 8000 Liam had a rating 2846, and in version 11 its rating nearby 1800. Doc in version 8000 had a rating 2817, and in version 11 - 2112. And players which played very strongly earlier, now play very poorly, and on their place have put nobody. It turns out that players with a rating more than 2000 became much less. What sense so to do? Old arrangement liked me much more.
2) At creation of tournament, in old versions (up to 10) was a remarkable opportunity - autogame of computer players. It was possible to create tournament, and then to start its autogame, and characters would play with each other until tournament would end. It was not necessary to press each time buttons and to start a new party. Now such opportunity is not present. To begin new game in tournament, it is necessary to start each time it manually. It is very tiresome. How it is possible to return this opportunity?

1. What kind of computer are you running Chessmaster 8000 on? Keep in mind that ratings will change based on CPU speed... see the Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition FAQ for more details.

2. It's not possible.

Yes they mixed things up a little and made some personalities weaker, some stronger, and added some new personalities. I don't see a reason why anyone would be bothered with this.
