I use Chessmaster 2000 for just that.  I think it may have a later
version than the one I have but I bought mine three years ago.

The only problem that I found was that I couldn't get back to the
other screens i.e. running a terminal program whatever.

To overcome this I started using Machii which provides a LEFT-AMIGA-M
key which cycles screens.

Chessmaster has a number of levels which should cater for most
players.
