Game was playing Passive (I do not understand what it means).

It never made a serious attempt to attack--it passively defended.

So Now I feel Ratings of the GetClub Game are.

Beginner is 1600
Easy is 1700
Normal is 1800

You feel wrong. If your engine still loses to me on Beginner and Normal
levels--I have not tried others--it's can't be rated higher than me.

Beginner is 1400
Easy is 1425
Normal is 1450
Master is 1475

Sheesh! How can you pack 'em together so closely
without insisting there is no recogniseable difference in
playing strength?

Soon you will be loosing 2/3 Games with Beginner and Easy Levels

In August it took me 42 moves to win. Now it takes 43 moves. If you
continue at this pace, next October it may take 49 moves.

The number of moves it takes to achieve checkmate
in no way determines strength. The most that can be
said is that a weak player is more likely to take longer
to win, due to poor technique. Besides, each game is
different, resulting in different winning methods and very
different lengths.

Last night (this morning, actually) I was so tired I
unwittingly left my Queen en prise against Sanny's
program. "No problemo", as the Terminator would
say; I eventually won anyway.
