Wow! I beat a computer!

Every once in awhile I will play a computer, but not too often as it's not a lot of fun getting creamed in no time at all . . . and by a machine, no less. But today I did play against "Little ChessPartner" by Lokasoft over at chess.com, and I won! Last thing I expected to happen. Now I have to wonder just what that means. The setting was on easy. So what sort of strength was I up against? Anyone know?

hmm it just said chess computer i beat it fairly easily. probably 1400 1500ish.

Yah it played a more theoretical line of the french vs me and I decked it in 18 moves 😛.

Played a Sicilian Najdorf with me, it failed badly

I set it to 'hard' and no obvious blunders I guess except Bd3?. Playing Black. Interesting. It seems the program just lets itself get wore and worse. The usual one move threats you expect from weak Java apps.

Why does it move so fast I wonder??

Easy level is very easy. i mated it in 16 moves as white and 13 as black. Here's the black game afair.

I beat Chessmaster's "Natalie" Program (2300) taking advantage of its poor opening

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5? 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Qa5+, g6, 5.Nxg6, Nf6 6. Qa4, Hxg6 Qxa8, and then swapped forces down and won the endgame.

ok, i just beat the Little Chesspartner with lvl 10 depth, I'd say the program is about 1800.

They sound like brilliant programs if everyone is beating it..lmao.
