Online computers on chess.com are unrealistic and disgusting!

I have noticed that the online computers which play in live chess are misleading. I mean, their ratings are misleading. The Easy computer is rated around 1200 but its playing strength is not even close to 1000. It makes silly mistakes which even beginners will not make. The Medium level computer is rated around 1500 but that is not its real playing strength. The hard level's rating is around 1700 which roughly matches its playing strength. Then comes the Impossible level computer. Its rating ranges between 2000-2200, but its real playing strength is 2500. My question is why is there so much disparity between real playing strength and the rating of computers on this site? Does this apply to human beings as well? Please enlighten me on this issue. Any views are welcome and will be appreciated. :)

How can their ratings be wrong? They earned those ratings in exactly the same fashion as all of the humans on this site. The weaker ones are designed to play ridiculous moves sometimes, but that just means that most of their moves are much better than their rating would suggest.

P.S. Disgusting? Do you even know what that word means?

Regarding chess computers, it's just hard to accurately dumb down chess computers.

Don't waste your time playing them. Simple..

How is it a waste of time when you can win trophies for playing them?

The chess.com computers have their ratings updated when they win, draw or lose rated games, just like with the human players. This means that their ratings are constantly changing. If they win or lose a lot then their ratings will appear to be much higher or lower than they should be.

Not to mention that computers play nothing like humans, and their playing strengths can fluctuate massively, even in a single game.

The strength of Comp1-EASY (and to a lesser extent Comp2-MEDIUM) always fluctuates massively over the course of a single game. Since it's impossible to program to computer to consistently play beginner-level moves, it will play mostly optimal moves, but the occasional egregious blunder. I've seen other people describe the computer's play as "several perfect moves followed by a blunder," but in my experience that's not exactly accurate: there are certain situations where it will always blunder, and others where it will always play accurately.

chess.com trophies? If real life trophies, then OK. but these trophies are useless

haha I often laugh at your comment,,your sense of humor is unique

@sohum,disgusting is not proper word for this topic

bless too,i like you dude

She doesn't like being called a dude...

a woman? I didn't know that,but sex was not correlated with my comment,i liked his/her personality

Maybe dudette?

Kaynight is a female?!?!?!?

I recently used the Fritz chess engine against the Impossible computer. The rating of Fritz is around 2700. Inspite of that, the Impossible computer won. Its rating does not portray its real playing strength. That is my point.

Admitting to cheating on the forums..... that's intelligent!

So many things wrong about this... Such as the playing strength being dependant upon the time given and hardware it's run on etc. but I think I'm just going stick with this: You just admitted to cheating. You're not allowed to use an engine on this website obviously. That includes against their engines.

So maybe they found a computer that's better than Fritz. You want to get good enough to beat Nakamura and Carlsen, don't you? Beating a computer is supposed to be next to impossible. Mine kicks my butt, but helped me find a new line when it surprised me and used the Sicilian Dragon, then crushed my textbook Yugoslav Attack. I'm going to dust off the Dragon and give it a shot my next game.
