Each level allows your computer to think for
different periods of time (tournament players call
these periods “time controls”). The longer your
computer thinks, the better moves it makes.
Generally the beginner levels are for beginners
while the remaining levels are for more
accomplished players. If you are a beginner, start
out with the beginner levels. The computer
purposely makes mistake s on these levels so you
can beat the computer and learn while you play.
The beginner levels also restrict the computer's
