Hi Jane
DS7 played chessmaster, I found the rateings a little lower then the actual scholastic tornament ratings. I find most ratings under 1000 unreliable in both tournaments and chess programs. 1500+ is very good for a 7 year old if they play a lot. One or two games is not a good indicator. 25 games with an average of 1500 is very very good, even on chesmaster. I played (Adult) the computer and was around 1500-1700 and winning (Played 5 games) I then played a 1500 rated player and he beat me 3 games in row no problem.
