From what I have heard, Checkmate has a strong algorythm, but only
when you play at 2 min/move or higher.  At lower levels, it makes a
lot of mistakes.  This informaiton comes from a friend who has a
rating of ~2000, and he has compaired it with 2 chess computers
rated 2100 and 2200.

Personaly, I use chessmaster 2000, which beats me at its lowest
level.
