I would guess this is about 7-800 in an Elo list that use a full scale (USCF, Norwegian etc.) with an average of 14-1500. I liked those games I have seen with it when it played against such an opponent. It didn't blunder pieces directly, but the player had to find a short combination to win the piece. Else there should be an engine called Delfi, I think it comes in a free and a commersial version (the version I have comes with CA). Try the WBEC site to locate the engine. This too have the ability to lower the strength, and with some thought behind it too. Odd Gunnar
