The Chessmaster personality shows a rating of 2800 (or more). That certainly can be “accurate”, can it?
Strictly based on the math described above, it IS accurate. However, there is a problem of “diminishing returns” as computers get faster and faster, especially at shorter time controls. The difference between a Pentium III-1Ghz processor and a Pentium III-1.2Ghz processor is not going to be as significant. As the Chessmaster personality reports higher and higher ratings, this value should be considered as more of a “benchmark” of your computer’s speed, rather than a “real-world” chess rating.
