I have an old Chessmaster game. An interesting feature Chessmaster has that we don't find on any site or application now is that Chessmaster lets time to the program to think like a human when one plays against the computer. I mean it can sometimes take to the computer 1 or 2 minutes to play its next move, like a human would do. It's quite useful when we want to practice a game like 20 minutes + 5 seconds increment. The computer on Chess.com plays always rightaway. So, we can't use the computer time to think about its response like in a real game, neither to think about what we might play according to a few scenarios. So, the computer 20 minutes is not a real one and a good feature to add would be a kind of checkbox "let the computer think" so that any player could decide if he wants this feature on or off.
The computers and the algos are just faster and more accurate now. They've left humans far behind.

And when it fakes playing below strength it plays terribly.
