Which opponent are you playing? So far I have only played "Josh - Age 8". He's weak, but he seemed to use the clock in a semi-realistic way. He played the opening quickly and the middlegame and endgame slowly. Although a real opponent might think very deeply before exchanging into a pawn endgame and then play very quickly after that... but now I'm splitting hairs.  |

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! Even if the computer only needs to think 1-2 seconds it should add an artificial delay to be more realistic. I'll add this to my "Bug List" post to increase the chance of a developer seeing this. The good news is, you should break 1000 soon if you break the 1000 level very quickly if you go through Chessmaster's basic lessons. |

Hi steve, that only happens for a couple of oppenents, and at 664, simon will make lots of mistakes. Just use as much time as you need, play ultra solid, and wait for the mistakes to come. J quote: Originally posted by steve_s_seattle:
I just ran a game between the Chessmaster (2935) and Simon (664) using a 45/3 Fischer clock (45 minutes per player, 3 second added after each move). After 24 moves, the clock times were 30:26 for the Chessmaster and 46:05 for Simon. It looks like the Chessmaster program does not simulate the indecision time of a weaker player.
This will prevent me from using Chessmaster to practice planning ahead while my AI opponent makes a move. It will also prevent me from practicing fast play in order to run out the clock on my opponent.
