Once a person told me why GetClub game was weak.

[snip...]

Whatever the issue may be, I should not have been able to get away with
moving my King all around the board like this:

(Computer is playing Black)

1. f3 e5
2. Kf2 Nc6
3. Ke3 Bc5
4. Ke4 d5

Then I tried an illegal move just to see how the chess program would
respond...

5. Kxe5

The chess program responded by moving my King back to the square it was
previously on--as it should, because the move is clearly illegal--but now I
also had control of the black pawn on e5. That behavior is a bug.

The only way to work around the bug and get control of my King once again
was to drop the black pawn on any other square other than e5, and then I
could once again move my King to a legal square. So, continuing with legal
moves, since the program didn't allow illegal moves...

5. Kd3 Bf5
6. Kc3 Bb4
7. Kb3 Nd4
8. Kxb4 Nc2
9. Kc5 ...

At that point, the game completely reset to "Welcome to Chess Game" and
presented me with the choices available for playing chess.

In comparison, here's what resulted when I tried to use the same moves
against ChessMaster 5500 set on Light (10 seconds per move):

(Computer is playing Black)

1. f3 e5
2. Kf2 Nc6
3. Ke3 Qh4

With Qh4, there was no way I could play Kd4 or put my King anywhere on the
d-rank!

4. Kd3 Qd4 Checkmate.

As expected, ChessMaster 5500 defeated me very quickly as the result of
moving my King as the primary opening piece.
