Hi. When I play gnuchess at the GNU Webchess site over Netscape, and 
start a free game (ofcourse), I get to choose the strength of the 
computer. Now does anyone know the ratings of these different levels of
strength? (After the usual disclaimer, please give me some good high
figures so that I can feel good about myself beating the computer :) ).

venkat.
