I'm wondering if there is any fix for this. I've been making my way up the list of personalities, and I've managed to get my rating up to around 1800.

I've now started playing "Liam" who is ranked at ~1880, and for the first two games, "he" has been playing horribly. This is just one example (this is my second game against him):

There won't be any more patches/updates for Chessmaster 10th Edition.

I can't remember if any personalities were updated in the patches... you do have the patches, right? If not, you can download them from the Chessmaster 10th Edition Downloads.

You could also modify the personality, too...
