Did the Chess.com computers get stupider?

Stupider hasn't been a word until recently people thought "Hey, because people can't say more fun, or more stupid, let's make them technically both words." I don't care that the dictionary says it is a word they only made it that way so people could get away with talking like idiots and not having to correct them selves.  More stupid and "stupider" have the same meaning, it's not hard to say the more grammatically correct one then the other, by that I mean every single dictionary you read (I hope) will say that stupid is a word, not every dictionary you read (especially older ones) will state that stupider is a word.  Yes the words stupider and funner both make me annoyed if someone that is not a little kid says it.  I don't really care that karl_fallout4 said it I just wanted to correct him.  

Just stop this crap! You guys are starting to sound just like my mother. Good English is important, true, but could we please get on with it, as they say? No wonder some people absolutely hate Chess players!

All right, if you absolutely insist on us being serious...  happy.png

 

I actually went to the computer, set it to level 5, and repeatedly opened with 1. d4.  I did this about 30 times or so. Not once did it reply 1...h5. Not once.

 

It does like the Dutch Defense quite a bit, but it also plays 1...Nf6 quite a bit, too. (Along with many other openings, BTW.)

For the record: I call a garbage man a garbage man, not a sanitation engineer and a prostitute a prostitute, not a sexual engineer! I hate euphemisms! Call something what it is but do strive, especially on this site because mainly to shield children, to avoid obscenities and cursing. 

A garbage man is indeed a garbage man.  A prostitute is a sex worker.  For her to be a sexual engineer, she has to come up with something new and different.  Good luck with that.

Age challenged individuals, please.  I take offense.  And defense, sometimes ...

It's ok.  You'll be fine.

I remember the lvl 5 Computer play moves like Nf6 in reaction to d4. Now when I play d4 the Computers play h5 and act like a lvl 1 computer.

No. The engines you cheat with have gotten better.

I don't use engines.

Don't believe me?

Check my blitz ratings.

This started a while back and I expect it has been patched.
