You should try playing against either Clyde or Stanley (called BoBo in CM7000)
in Chessmaster. They are EXCEPTIONALLY weak, and I truly doubt they are capable
of winning a game unless they are granted a mate in 1.
Clyde played 96 games (total) in engine testing for CM8000 against 15 other
computer opponents, all rated 350 or less. It got 9 wins, 19 draws and 68
losses.
Stanley played 24 games against the worst 6 opponents in the game (other than
him, he is the worst). He got 2 wins, 5 draws and 17 losses.
These two are TRULY horrible, and would give the ChessBase program a run for its
money.
