Which game do you have now?  It will give some of us a better idea of
what to recommend.  Other than that, is there any way you could make it
play worse?  Like setting its time really fast, turning off thinkahead
(where the computer continues to work on what it THINKS will be your
move), etc.
Thanks.

and that supercomputer now called Deeper Blue. This time around, the computer
might have a chance to beat Kasparov. Earlier this year, Deeper
Blue beat Deep Blue. And last year, Deep Blue beat Kasparov once. Match is on
May 3rd. To all chess fans, respond for a serious discussion.

assistant: Possibly but so what? If the Computer beats the World Champion,
its not the end of the world. Top Chess Players would just
have to face a new order of
World Champion that dont age, doesnt get tired,nervous, sick with flu
(although he can suffer an occasional hardrive crash) and is
up for a hard fight all the time and plays at its Maximum strength 24
hours a day which is something a Human cant do.
Chess is a social game and People will still on playing regardless
of weather or not the machine is Champion, for awhile it might be
intresting to try and watch it tear apart Karpov or Kasparov or Polgar
but then its boring and people will move on.

There have been a lot of tests over the years, and it's fairly well

computer vs. computer, or how well it will do in a computer vs. human

assistant: A Computer Program like Fritz that costs about a $100
and not running on a Cray Super Computer like deepthought
just your typical PC or IBM compatible  with Intel Pentium 166 processor
could defeat Kasparov says alot about how far Chess Games have come in
the past 11 years. The newer Chess Games are stronger, faster, more slick.
If they teach Players to play better Chess or make better sparing partners
for them to sharpen or improve there game then so much the better!
Chess is a life time learning experince you lose, you learn from your
mistakes, you win you can always find something to improve on, its
immaterial weather the Player is rated 2400 or 1895 or 1100.

 I used to play Correspondence Chess few years ago. My ELO rating was 135O,
at the time.
 If you are interested in playing, feel free to reply. Our game will take a
long time, FIDO can be very slow as I am in Australia.
 Just in case you wish to go on, I'll include my first move:
                                                             1) b4
 You may also wish to include your first move as a white in another game.
That way we can play two games.
