How often do you play vs a Computer opponent?

  • Never. I prefer human opponents; engines just aren't the same
  • Seldom, but sometimes I'll analyse a game I played and try different lines against my computer.
  • Sometimes I'll play a practice game against an engine.
  • I play engines often. It's good practice and doesn't hurt as much to lose!
  • I play engines more often than humans. I love a casual game vs my smart-phone or computer!
