Why does your computer cheat so much?

Why does your computer cheat so much? It seems that whatever move I make, the computer finds a way to cheat. If I backtrack my move, the computer changes its move. Takes all the fun out of playing to constantly be cheated by a computer.

Are you complaining that when you get to change your move, the computer also gets to change its move? How is that cheating?

 

I actually can't think of a single action that a computer chess engine could conceivably take that would qualify as "cheating"

Cheatin' computers?  Cheatin' computers? We don't need no stinkin' cheatin' computers!

 

Sounds like the OP is frustrated that the computer always gives him a spanking. That's what most chess computers do. He needs to either find a chess computer that can be dumbed down, or play people around his own level.

I'm sorry, what were we talking about? Could you elaborate a little more?

HaveAnotherGame

Weird question. Do you happen to have the answer?

My computer always tries to sneak an extra queen onto the board when I'm not looking. Yell

Is this for humorous purposes? I am not sure if that is your computer or the engine. Wish I could help you.

Maybe it's being helped by a human?

OP, are you sure that is how you define "cheating"?

I would think smart phones would be smarter than that. It makes me wonder what a dumb phone would do to your life. Wink

My backgammon computer will not let me win, even if it takes multiple double sixes to beat me. Now THAT is cheating.

The only chess computer I know that really cheats is Chess Maniac 5 Billion and One. Laughing
