In this game why was beginner Level Lost? Why it sacrificed its
knight? was there any other move.

What were the wrong moves that black should have avoided?

You can see in some moves black played in 0 seconds it is because it
thought its move in Opponents time.

The Moves where Black played instantaniously other than Opening are.

18. g4-g5{26} Nf6-d5{0}

23. Qg6-h5{26} Rf7-g7{0}

So you save time in game as Beginner thinks in your time.

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.

Which are the wrong moves in opening that I should remove and what are
the correct moves?

How could Beginner Stopped the attack what were the moves it should
have played to stop the pawn attacks? As advancing pawns on King side
would have created more problems.

What should be done if the opponent created a closed Center. Is there
any way to destroy this close Center? By exchange etc?

I'm no openings encyclopedia, but your
program obviously plays several different
openings poorly-- including this one.

The attack is based on White playing B-h6,
taking on g7 and then following up with Q-h6+.
All that is needed to stop the mating attack
is a well-timed p-h5. However, that means
White can attack in other ways-- which is
why I would remove this entire line from its
openings book.

You need to "steer for" lines in which the
center will *not* get closed.

Black can get crazy on the other wing, as
world champion Gary Kasparov used to do.
Moves like ...a6, ...c6 and ...b5 will at least
give White something to think about besides
how to quickly force checkmate on Black's
King. But in general, this is precisely the
kind of position where even a relatively weak
player can beat a computer, by going for the
King, willy nilly.

I think Easy & Normal Levels will automatically see these mistakes
because of their long depth of Calculation.

Have you tried playing such match against Easy / Normal Levels?

Dude you must me a sociopath. You were just told what the problem is
and your saying you think your program will automatically see these
mistakes. What don't you understand? Your program doesn't see these
mistakes. Some people in here have given you invalueable advice on
how to make a better program and you throw it under a bus.

It is very difficult to grasp what Help Bot is saying? Once I
understand what he is saying then only I can improve.

He is saying Do not allow the Opponent to create a Blocked Center.

There are 1000s of ways to block the Center. How will I tell the
Beginner Level what to do for stopping the Blockade. Every game there
are 100s of possibilities. I am unable to grasp what should beginner
level do to stop opponent from blocking the center?

Incase Center is Blocked how myuch penalty should be given.

And further what is the condition of Blocking the Center. Is it only
the pawns or also the pieces like Knight & Bishops.

Once I understand what and Why? I can add it to GetClub.

You must be kidding.

From which point, there are many variations but they're all rather
same-ish.
