Chessmaster 3k had that feature. But I was never good enough in chess to evaluate how well it worked. Still, I thought about the simplest method:

  - get a chess playing algorithm (I think it will probably well with minimax or mcts) with many tunables,

  - use a genetic algorithm to adjust the tunables of the first algorithm; use how similar it plays (make it choose a move on positions from a database of games from said player) as a goal function.
Doesn't seem terribly complicated to do, but don't know how similar to a human it would play.
