I can only give information on Radio Shack's older model, the Chess Champion
2150L.

At the time of the following games, I was rated 1420 USCF and didn't vary from
this number by more than 40 points.

At level 4 I scored 50%, or 10-10.

At level 5 I scored 40%, or 10-15.

At level 6 I scored 33.3%, or 10-20.

I played each level until I scored 10 wins.  Games were at 40 moves in 120
minutes, and I played about 3 games a week.  I usually played e-pawn openings
(about 75%).  As black against e4 I usually played the Sicilian (75%), and
against d4 I played both the Nimzo (30%), the Queen's Indian (30%).

For what this info is worth WRT an older computer...
