Yes, I understand that there are three easier levels. But you're not
going to sell any engine, no matter how strong it is, if the only way
it can beat a master is if it takes at least 5 minutes for it to move.
As I said above, when it can draw an IM or GM with no more than ONE
minute per move, then you might have something. But, keep in mind that
there are already dozens of FREE programs out there that can do that
now.
For reference, Chessmaster 8000 (that's three versions and almost 7
years ago) drew the Cuban National Champion at that time, Julio
Becerra, twice in a row with only one SECOND per move (and the human
could take as long as he wanted to move). Becerra is one of the best
blitz players on ICC.
You can see how strong GM Becerra is here:

Obviously, your program can't do that (yet!).
