I must admit that i like the new settings selection +difficulties buuuuuuut, whenever i play e4 the computer always responds d6. That definetly needs to be fixed. Anyone else having this problem? (I tried at least 10 times).

EDIT: This is only on silly and easy. On medium/hard it does sicilian

hmmmmm

new computer play is annying - everytime i seem to get it on the ropesm it goes into computer thinking mode, and doesnt make a move!!! and its not just freezing up either! if i do the same e=sequence of moves it freezes at sane moment!

grrrrr!

Have you got the latest version of Java and what Browser are you using

pretty sure its the latest version, and I'm using firefox. However, I don't really see how that is relavent (maybe I'm wrong). I mean, shouldnt the computer vary its moves anways?

it should but if you make the same moves every game then it may do the same moves

ok..... sorry to hijack thread, but it is related....

try this... play as white against 'medium' computer.

knight f3

comp play knight f6

pawn h4

comp plays pawn d5

Now if you move pawn d5, then the computer dries up and doesnt move.... AT ALL!!! Now this is ok as its ealry on, but its happened a lot of times and sometimes near the end of the game.... is nobody else having this problem>??

Please could someoe check the moves above and see it it is me...

Cheers

I dont mind because you really didnt hijack it. All I'm saying is that if after 1 e4. the computer always play d6, how are you spost to practice against like french, caro kann, sicilian, or work on e4 e5 openings.

Honestly I find it annoying how it makes obtuse blunders every now and then.  I just came from a thread where LCP completely stomped his opponent, finding every accurate move for twenty moves, and then dying to a mate in one.

we will have fixes for freezing and shallow opening book soon!

Thank you!

you're welcome! new computer is live (and freezing fixed...)

I played it on medium and it did the most random move on me. The computer's king was safe in the back rank behind two pawns when randomly the computer moved it's king to the corner! I won with a bank rank checkmate with my rook but it was so awkward. The computer was winning by two pawns and i had no obvious threats on it.

The computer is still freezing.

I'm still having freezing issues as well.

The computer has been stuck in a "Computer is thinking..." state for close to 10 minutes. I hate to shut down the game, but... what else is there to do?

I'm playing on easy level (1200).
