Hi.
I play chess960 against bots on Lichess.
Most of them are way too strong for me. I do not mind losing, I just do not want to lose every single game.
On the other extreme, there are some very weak engines. To the point that it neither fun nor instructive (for me) to play against them.
There is something missing there: some middle strength engines that also play chess960.
Greetings.
Oh yes, I felt the same way when I was playing standard chess quite a few years ago when lichess bots were in the primitive stage. The whole scenario was dominated by accounts with ultra optimized stockfish in superior hardware, or an engine that just plays by rules.I was disappointed as I was specifically looking for engines rated about 2300 to 2500 in CCRL scale.
Lichess is very convenient compared to playing against the engine on desktop. You get more motivated to play against them on lichess as opposed to playing with them on laptop. I don't know, but it feels that way. Maybe it's the age of mobile and the need for immediate game play on the go, anytime and anywhere.
I certainly hope many engines get listed there eventually. Fast forward to 2022, I am happy to see many engines out there in the rating range that I am looking for. Maybe in future, you will feel the same way about FRC.
Hi.
I agree, it is somehow more "fun" to play against an engine on a chess server, than on my own computer.
I only play rated games. I am aware that rating points on a chess server are just useless; but still...
On my own computer, I get the feeling that it just does not matter.
But of course, on a server it does not matter either (:
Go figure.
Greetings.
