It doesn't seem possible to me. The last several times I have
attempted to finish my game on the Advance level, I wait for
*hours* and it never moves. A few times, the program shows
that it has reached the 8th-ply, but eventually this retreats to
4 or 5 again. I must conclude that my internet connection is
not uninterupted, and each time the game somehow resets and
begins its analysis anew. At this rate, I cannot even make
progress in a single game, let alone discover any improvements
to the program, real or imagined.


I suggest never play with Advance level.

Play with Normal and Master Level at Maximum if you can easily beat the
Beginner and Easy levels.


If? How many wins does it take to demonstrate my
VAST superiority?



Advance level may take an hour/ two hours for some moves as It is
hungry for best move possible.

Play with Beginner Level only and it will give you a good challenge.
Once you beat all the levels Try Master Level. But never Advance Level
(only if you want a game to be completed in a week)

If it is not making any move Resign the Game by Pressing RESIGN GAME
and start a new game with lower level.


Okay. This seems a bit drastic, but after all, it's only a
game.

Just one itsy-bitsy, teeny-tiny detail: it is the computer's
move, and there is no "resign" button on the display! My
guess is that you can only resign when it is your turn to
move. A couple of times I attempted to finish this game
while at McDonald's, with a pretty good wireless connection.
Even so, the computer never made even one single move.
I half expected N-a5, chasing my Queen, with the idea of
retreating back N-c3 and a repetition, if the computer
calculates that it stands worse. But I was intending to
play for a win, believe it or not. In terms of the time
required to complete a single game with my connection,
the advice to avoid the Advance level seems appropriate.

Can you confirm that the analysis is "reset" whenever
there is an interruption in the internet connection? The
numbers I gave as "plys" may be soemthing else, but
they seemed to work the same way, and on my computer,
I have never noticed the number going higher than 8.
