A while back somebody posted a comparison of Psion Chess, Sargon III 
and Chessmaster 2000 to rec.games.chess.  As I recall, he said Psion 
Chess was the strongest microcomputer program he'd ever seen, but I 
don't think he gave a rating.  All these programs let you vary the 
strength of your opponent.

I've had Psion Chess for about three years and have been very happy 
with it except that it won't install properly on a hard disk.  Nice 
graphics, lots of good features (including menus in your choice of 
seven languages) and pretty good play.
