Computer was using a computer?

This CPU easy seemed to be playing way out of its league. I felt like I had to make GM moves to win this game.

How is this "easy"?

By move 20 you were up a rook and an exchange and from then until the end of the game the computer wasn't able to make a single threat.

So... my impression is that it's not hard.

By the way, rook vs minor piece trick is often to sac the rook at the right time. 38...Rxe5 and I bet you could win in your sleep.

How about winning a piece with 22 ... Bxc3+ 23 Kxc3 Qe1+ 24 Kd3 Nf4+?

Looks like the computer was definitely playing "easy" in my opinion.  That doesn't mean the win is totally simple, but it means that a novice player can beat it.

the "opening" that the computer plays definitely signifies that this is a Easy-Computer. I dont even think c4 is even a good, playable move in that situation.
