It made some rather foolish decisions early in the game, but then went onto later in the game to play very accurate and when I tried to play like a newcomer, went on to finish and go in the for kill very fast and deadly. My next door nighbour is a novice and plays very little but can easily beat a newcomer, and he also to lost two games he played against it at its weakest level. Its like a good chess player letting you take four peices in a row while sitting and doing nothing about it, and when you get all confident it plays some killer chess in which it see a sequence of moves no begginner would come close to doing and finishing the game in a blink of a eye. Which is what happens. It lets you take peices for no reason, then goes on to check mating you with no problem Thanks for your imput Fernando, I asked about version 3.0 when I first joined CCC and you were the first to rely to that over two years back.
