i beat mittens
Has anyone ever beat the "Maximum" 3200 bot?


I crushed him with nextchessmove.com’s engine. I definitely recommend you visit that website! It has stock fish 16 and it can detect brilliant moves!

I am pretty sure if an engine played another engine, it would be a draw unless one engine is vastly superior than the other...

Is it even possible?
I really did it once so yes. And it seems other people did it too.
I am rated 1600 on chess.com. I can beat a 2100 komodo almost everytime. But I know a 3200 engine and a 2100 engine are completely 2 diffferent stories. Even 2500rated komodo crushes me EVERY SINGLE GAME. Engines rated above 2000 are just starting to play weird and dangerous moves that normal players dont see. Like the engine just plays a weird and pointless move at first, but then the next move their piece just lands on a very dangerous square for u.
I think it is more like you have a way of looking at the board that is objectively flawed, I think everyone does even magnus. But very few people could prove that with magnus. The computer is making a move for a reason, and its much more likely that this "pointless" move that somehow enables alot isn't just a stand off thing. That "pointless" move could have a very simple reason that you are just overlooking. I find this to be common in particular when the move you made a inaccuracy or mistake on isn't the move (in some cases moves) you did wrong, it was somewhere in the past you played a subtle idea that was wrong that is only now showing up in the present. This is the most common way I see players getting confused.
