They wrote their own because it's more fun to do that, and also because they really wanted me to win. The computer is really really bad

Hey now, I was proud to have won from a chess computer for once!

Glad I'm not the only one who often can't beat even the "easy" computer opponent in chess programs.

The main problem is that I only win by having my extremely-stupid blunders overlooked and then spotting my opponent's extremely-stupid blunder, so if the computer never misses my boneheaded blunders and also almost never commits any exploitable-in-one-or-rarely-two-moves blunders of their own, I can't possibly win, zero chance.

ROFL you're right that the computer is really bad, I won in 7 round which is a first for me (against a computer) and I'm bad at chess.

It reminds of a reversi I made for a school projects: users liked it because the computer was so bad that they could win..
