Android - computer is too weak

Sort:
Dragec

Have you noticed how the computer opponent is too weak?

It always play the same moves, apparently has no opening book.

And it's busted on a 5 and 10 seconds strength.

When I have some time to spare (in train, during some boring presentation ...), I play against it, but it annoys me that it keeps playing the same openings over and over again.

And I have a variation that will always win against 5-10 sec computer in under 15 moves.

Other apps are better (aart bik chess, droidchess...). Embarassed

Is this live chess computer opponents or computerchess?

computer chess (play Computer) on Android app.

If you need proof, I will post it (spoiler alert),  it's annoying that it falls for the same trick every time.

OK, here is it.

SPOILER ALERT

Guaranteed win on 5-10 seconds, on 1 and 3 seconds it plays Scandinavian, so it's a different game. On 30 seconds it sometimes fall for it.

On 1 min it usually does not fall for it, still, 1 min per move is too much for a casual play.

 

don't look at the diagram if you don't want to know the busting sequence:

Dragec, i did notice that yes it seems to use similar moves, for instance if i play the same moves one game and for a 2nd game, the 2 games will be identical, however, i still find it incredibly difficult to beat the computer

Well, if you want to know how, then just look at the diagram.

IMO the app should have some opening book included, so it could play different variations.

Other chess apps have it, so I guess it shouldn't be too difficult to include it.
