4. Bf1-h3{12} Bg4-h3{16}

4. Bg2 would probably be better and pleasingly symmetrical.

6. Bb2-f6{6} Nd7-f6{16}

Why? The Bishop was strong and still useful. And worth slightly more
than the N at this stage of the game and sat on such a nice square.
Swapoff isn't helpful here. Any of O-O, c4, d3, d4 would be OK

7. Nh3-g5{12} e7-e5{14}

Ng5 is OK for the moment, but it is a seriously weaker move than other
options.
Any of d4, f4, O-O, d3 would be better (to d4, f4 to discourage e5)

8. f2-f4{22} e5-f4{18}

What a difference a move makes! Too late! Now f4? is losing. Whites
king will rapidly be denuded of pawn shelter.

16. Nc3-e4{22} Qg5-f5{18}

Terminal decline sets in here. Only an immediate attack on the queen
can really hold on now.
Rg1 or Qf2

Does the program have a killer move heuristic? These sorts of position
where the opponent has a consistent and powerful threat (Rhg8) that
refutes most of whites possible moves are amenable to faster
searching.

18. a2-a3

You might have hoped the program would find one of Rc1 or e4 which
delay the inevitable.

But I would say Begginner is playing now as well as it ever has.

king will rapidly be denuded of pawn shelter.

When King has not chastled which are the pawns which should not be
moved ahead?

We prefer d4/e4 when the king is sitting just behind them. Then why we
do not like move f4/g4. Why do they weaken the King while d4/e4 do
not? Same thing is happening in both cases that is the pawns infront
of king are moved?

I do not understand what you mean by "killer move heuristic?"

18. a2-a3

You might have hoped the program would find one of Rc1 or e4 which

The program saw a benefit of Bishop if Rxc2 after playing a2-a3. It
was only after lots of moves it was having a checkmate after 12 moves.

But I would say Begginner is playing now as well as it ever has.

I am only posting Games where it is loosing you can visit GetClub and
see other games where Beginner has played very well.

I Played a game between GetClub Easy Level which takes 20-40 sec /
move and Jester which always takes 40 seconds/ move.

I played both with Higher level So that there is less calculation
mistake and we can see what real mistake GetClub Chess is making.

Please Analyze and let me know which were the wrong moves that must be
avoided by Black. As Black lost the game in just 56 moves despite
playing with Easy level which is one step ahead of Beginner Level.

Since Both took atleast 40 seconds per move a strong analysis will be
needed to find the mistakes in the game.

Easy Level.
