By "suit your style" do you mean play in a similar style?  Or play in a style
that would be challenging to you?

Assuming the former, and assuming you have a version of Windows that's
compatible (for example, NOT WinXP), Rebel Century 3 is known for being good
positionally.  It runs in DOS.

But the most important aspect of today's chess programs for most people may not
be playing style but rather that they are so much stronger than most humans.  If
you are playing them against other programs, or against grandmasters, the games
might last long enough for the style differences to show.  But against most
people, the human is often lost before style plays a big part.  (At least that's
my experience.  My rating is only around 2000 USCF.)

Good luck!
