I think that Powerchess is the best program (including dedicated computers)
regarding the ability to play a weak but not ridiculous game (against the King
level, because the Queen is definitely too strong for me)
After a few games where you can mate it in two moves or take its queen for
nothing, it plays a weak game without material blunders... or at least, it is
the impression I had.

The bad thing about it is that it is the least compatible software I have seen :
it works on Windows 95 and that's it, not even Windows 98 (and of course, don't
ever think of make it run on 2000 or XP).
The only way to play with it now is to use Virtual PC.
