	Checkmate has an ELO rating of 2000+ which is 80 pts higher than
Chessmaster2100 on a 386. (This is in the Checkmate manual.) The scale goes
from 1000 - 2750, with 2750 being Gary Kasparov.
	I haven't used 2100, but I can tell you a few features of Checkmate.
- View from any angle.
- Learns 'strong' moves
- Can design your own pieces
- Gives you your rating on the ELO scale
- Unlimited 'rewind' or takebacks, and Fast forward
- Installs on  HD
- Uses Extra ram, and Advanced processors

That's what I know.  I think it's a great program.
