Macbook Air Chess is too difficult
The MacBook Chess is really difficult to play, especially at a casual level. I tried playing the computer on its intermediate setting which is 1 second per move, but the computer does not play like an intermediate CPU bot. The intermediate bot on the Macbook Chess is probably playing at a skill level that seems to be higher than 1000 elo. 1000 elo is the skill level for computers that think 1 second per move during human vs computer matches. I think that the computer's strength if calculated would be around 2000-2400 which is really difficult. The computer seems to make no blunders on these settings and it makes it challenging to win a single match. Somehow, version 3.18 is more difficult to beat than its predecessors which had a FAR FAR more accessible difficulty curve. Also, moving the difficulty curve slider makes no difference considering that the computer plays very strong tactically and positionally.
