Because of frequent disconnects and the s-l-o-w-n-e-s-s
of the program, I have been playing "blitz" against the
quickest (and oddly, highest-rated) level lately. It is very
dangerous in crazy positions; twice (probably many more) I
miscalculated a complex combination, resulting in loss
of a Rook or minor piece. But sometimes the program will
just hang something for no reason. I have been deliberately
playing weird moves to take it out of book early on, and this
has the drawback that in spite of the program's mishandling
of these positions, I too have sometimes done just the same
because I have a hard-to-play position.
So, Nomorechess is still on top. He played blitz game with beginner
level thinking it as weak as it was earlier. But now you can no more
play simple moves else GetClub Chess will beat you if you do so.

I think Nomorechess also can beat Master Level, But only in a serious
Match. But now you cannot win at getclub without giving full attention
to the game else the GetClub Chess will win.
Still there is hope for Nomorechess to go ahead and take higher
ratings.
In order to get a feel for the program's strength, you need
to look beyond the raw score and play through the games;
in many cases, it is miniaturized (or plays on in what ought
to have been a resigned miniature). For the record, I do not
get miniaturized like that except once in a blue moon. If I
wanted to play a dull, 100 move game I could be very careful
and win every game on technique, but the program is so
slow I would die of old age before finishing more than just a
few games. I do know enough to run it out of book in some
main line Caro-Kann or Sicilians, but I wanted to test it sans
book, and so I played some passive moves to accomplish
that. When I did play carefully, against the master level, I
won fairly easily, just like before.
Oh, you were testing, I saw you just gave your Rook for Bishop But
later fork his Queen. But Computer was able to play a Queen move with
Mate in 1.
Play a serious Match with Higher Levels and let me know if you can
beat them or not.
