I'm a "meh" chess player, but I do know proper openings and endgames, and I was bested by this engine. But for some reason, when I was only left with a King and a rook, it started blundering all its pieces: Bishop, a rook, 3 pawns, and a knight. It was left with only a king and knight.
And by blundered, I don't mean "made a bad move that I was able to take advantage of", I mean literally placed their rook infront of my pawn kind of blunder.
- adrianmonk 6y agoYeah, I managed to trap it into giving up its queen. I was pretty happy. Then I moved my queen to a spot where I did not realize its bishop could just scoot straight through the forest and take my queen. Oops.

- sdenton4 6y agoI think I've seen it start blundering more when the prospects are otherwise very bleak - if the best available move (with a depth-4 search) leads to a mate, who cares if you sacrifice a rook? I wonder if there was a quicker route to a mate you'd missed...
