Another learning tool is the opening book editor that allows the user to practice and learn opening lines, edit them or create and save his own. With nearly unlimited options and parameters available within the personality setup module, all aspects (e.g., style, aggressiveness, strength, randomness, book depth) pertaining to an opponent's proclivities can be "programmed" easily through slider bar settings ranging from 0 to 200. The ability to create user-defined opponents is the real strength of the game. The advanced player will play against various strong personalities with differing styles (whether user-defined or pre-set), practice a wide range of openings and go head-to-head with the strongest AI in a tournament setting. The intermediate player can invoke the mentor menu and choose the "rate my play" feature to practice openings, get a rating by trying to predict moves in GM games or study classic games.
For example, a novice would choose the mentor option that offers a chess tutor and a rudimentary education on legal moves by each piece. Various tools are used as teaching aids for each level of player. Featuring nearly total customizable controls and a huge array of options, the game incorporates an amazing level of sophistication and capability. When released in 1993, Chessmaster 4000 Turbo was at the leading edge of commercial software for computer chess games.
