In this game why was beginner Level Lost?


Sanny, I have beaten up on your Beginner
level countless times using this very same
line. It is a well-known attacking variation
used against the Sicilian Dragon setup,
and even a weak player -- like this guy --
can effect the crushing attack without any
particular finesse.

My advice would be to remove this line
from your program's opening repertoire and
have it play something where the center is
opened up; computers are very weak at
anticipating long-range, unstoppable
attacks which involve throwing the kitchen
sink at the enemy King, as in this line.

As can be seen, "spook" randomly tossed
his Kingside pawns forward, with no regard
for doing things in the correct order so as
to win the race that was supposed to be
taking place; Black is supposed to open
lines to the White King in his own rabid
attack on the enemy King, but of course
the Beginner level has no clue.

What you want is an open game, where
humans may overlook a tactical fork or two,
not a closed center with wing attacks.
However, if your program were sufficiently
strong at "tough defense", it could score a
few wins by exploiting over-zealous-human
mistakes even in these lines; but the truth
is, the GetClub program is a very poor
defender and seems much stronger on
offense.
