To get a rough idea of the strengths of the different personalities, we’ve run a little tournament and these are the results:

Notes:

  1. We’ve assumed that NagaSkaki has a rating of 2300
  2. The rating of the last two personalities is probably even lower, because they could only win against each other and not even draw a single game against the rest.
