I learnt most of the chess RULES (castling, en passant etc.) by just playing against computer. Some people say it doesn't improve chess & only playing against real people improves chess. But there is no difference of chess rules whether you play against real people or computer. Most chess experts say playing against strong opponants improves chess. Computer is a strong opponant. So it must be true that playing against computers improves chess. I play against Chess.com's computer (Level : Hard). Does this improve chess? Please comment your idea.
