Subject: On which level played Excalibur LCD chess?

As I wrote in an earlier message I read a review of Excalibur LCD chess on
http://www.chesscafe.com/
There they gave an example of its playing:
1. e4 c6 2. d3 e5 3. f4  Bb4+ 4. c3 exf4
In other word it gave away a bishop for a pawn.
Of course I didn't want to buy the LCD chess after that. But now I have thought
of it. There was no word about on which level it does so.  Perhaps it was a
beginner level although they said it was not so when I asked. In that case I
think it is wrong to take this as an example in a review. I mean not even a
cheap chesscomputer shall do this moves on a little higher level.
It could of course also be a bug. I mean that it does such a fault just here and
not otherwise. I read that somebody in this newsgroup had this LCD chess. Could
he or she tell me on which level in seconds per move or similar it doesn’t do
4…exf4.  Can I get  a little light on this question?
