Only slightly related to the GUI is having a range of abilities from beginner
up to the top level that can be fine tuned.  Chessmaster claims to do this kind
of thing, but when
I tried it on Chessmaster 6000, all the levels 1600 and below were dropping
pieces, and the next level up was smashing me at speed chess (my quick rating
is 1978.)
