Of course you can make a 2500+ program have an option to play at 1400
elo.  There are many ways to do it.  (Some programs don't even try.)  If it
can play at one second per move then why couldn't it play at a tenth of a second
per move or even less?  Another way to do it is to increase the randomness.
(i.e. don't differentiate between moves below a certain threshhold.  That
threshhold could be made pretty large if necessary.)

I still like my idea of having levels where level 1 looks at 30 possibilities,
level 2 at 60, level 3 at 120, level 4 at 240 etc.

Best wishes,
