I kept playing the same e4 opening over and over trying to go farther each time but it kept flooding me pawns then crushing me. I got up a little a few times (very few) on pawns then it would just crush me again. I never played the b2 to b4 move like you did though, that seemed to break up the pawns creating some openings I wasn’t getting at all.
I have beaten it. (at last) it plays very quickly and appears to have a 4-6 play horizon.
I played fast thinking that it may think on your time, (I now think it does not
so take your time.)
It underestimates attacks, it's 20...Nxd4 was a bad move which gave my 'attack'
extra fuel and is pretty bad in endings not seeing the strength of a passed pawn,
See the game.

That’s awesome, you did great against it! Even though it wasn’t me, it gave me just as much joy seeing that evil thing lose. I almost threw my iPad through the wall playing it. I also went fast the whole time, when I’m more patient and can slow down and think I’ll try it again now that I know it can be done. Thanks for showing the game.
@mike69 saidIf I may suggest: Instead of focusing on who won, why don't you think of it as a training partner. Set up your lost game(s) on a physical board, and analyze it or them to the best of your ability, write down why you went wrong i.e. was it a tactics error? left a piece hanging? allowed a piece to get trapped etc. then work through some lessons on how to get better on those points. This may make you a stronger overall player. I do this frequently when playing against bots on that other site, and it has helped me.
Have you played it, I don’t think you can change levels. I spent hours trying to beat the dang thing about drove nuts🤯.

@mchill saidI understand what you’re saying, I’m just not interested or care enough I guess to analyze my games as it feels very boring and playing fast is more fun. The thing that would help me the most right now would be looking at the board more before moving. I actually bought a chess board a while back that’s the same color as here to set up and look at while waiting for one of my clan mates to move who’s really strong, it’s still in the box on my nightstand 😁.

@mike69 saidWe can have an unrated game, I can play faster ... The ai game was over in a few minutes. Queens gambit accepted, played two games and both were accepted. That solves your pawn problem if you give it a try. Usually real players rarely accept. Go E4 after they accept and you control the centre after two moves.

@A-Unique-Nickname saidUnrated is fine, 1 and 3 ok or quicker, and a set to be fair? I don’t look at anything related to the games during, if you don’t either send them over.
