Hi,
Best options for you are:
1. Ufim 5.02
"The strength rating of Ufim 5.02 is about 2300 Elo points.
You can weaken Ufim using the "weak" parameter in the configuration file.
In UCI mode you can set any Elo rating in the range 700..2000 for weakening."
2. Phalanx XXII
with COMMAND LINE OPTION
-e <easy level 0...100> default: 0 (best play)
1 is the hardest and 100 is the easiest easy level. Phalanx tries to
emulate human-like blunders, the higher the number the more blunders it
plays. It also adds more randomness with the easy levels, repeating
games should be impossible. Easy levels set hashtable size to zero,
pondering and learning to off. Phalanx responds almost immediatelly to
opponent's move. Node count is used instead of the time, so appropriate
levels should give the same strength even on different machines
(e.g. 486 == Pentium-III).
