Is it possible (or, preferably, easy) to weaken GNU Chess 5.x to play
weaker players?  I'm just starting out trying to improve my game,
(beating my 5-yr-old son isn't as much fun as it used to be), and I'm
looking for a free (and preferably open source) Linux chess program
that I can make play harder gradually as I improve (but that doesn't
stomp me 99% of the time, as GNU Chess did when last I played it).

Thanks lots,
Dave
