For the weaker levels like 500-1800 I think Chessmaster is best by far . The Chessbase programs ( like Fritz ) seem to play quite as strong as usual but then they suddenly commit suicide in the weakened levels . This doesn't feel very human-like . The Rebel club player levels are most human-like I think . They really simulate a good club player (1800 - 2000 ) very well . But they can't do the other thing you asked for : going down all the way to ELO 1000 or even lower. The rest is more or less a matter of taste : I personally like the little personality histories in Chessmaster and the pictures of the opponents and there are plenty of them at various rating levels , so you can sit there and do some blitz games just for fun all the afternoon :-) pete
