I have played about 20 games on this one, at close to the highest level, and it has not yet made any illegal move. However, it certainly does not play good chess, as I have yet to lose to it, or even come close. It hasn't even made any blunders that led to the direct loss of material, like moving a piece into harms way or leaving one unprotected. However, it seems to be very easy to trap pieces with simple combinations, at least at the levels a few from the highest. Also, it never seems to see a back rank mate coming when it's king is trapped behind a row of pawns. Not at all worthy of serious play, but still fun for me. Dick Schneiders
