In spite of comments which strongly imply a certain
depth of search, I find that the program is not even
aware of itself being checkmated until one or perhaps
two moves beforehand. This is good evidence that the
program is weak tactically, and until it can see simple
tactics like mate-in-two there is no reason to waste
time thinking about strategy or trying to punch in more
opening lines for it to play by rote.
It sees checkmates in 3 & 4 depending upon Level. But to complete a
game It waits till Mait in 2 is found. As opponent may miss a Maten in
4 While computer has seen it.
After looking your suggestions, The game was improved a bit today.
Lets see if it plays stronger moves now.
