Help Bot (White) Played: 1. e4 c5 2. Bc4 there is no opening after
that.

Help Bot win the game by trapping a Knight with his Bishop. I went to
search for this line and found only people with low rating play Bc4.
Higher Rated (2700+) player never play Bc4 Why?

What was wrong with easy Level that it has to lose the Knight? Can you
mark the wrong moves?

If you go to chessgames.com you will find that,
until now, it was thought that Black seized the
upper-hand with ...e6, soon followed by ...d5--
kicking White's KB around.

But as this game showed, that plan fails when
countered, not by random piece shuffling, but by
well-considered development along with superb
tactical piece play and flawless technique, not
to mention perfect timing, complete sight of the
board, etc., etc.

As far as I can see, the program did not
go wrong in the very first few moves, but
rather, it was outplayed in the middle-
game and put up no fight whatever in the
endgame.

This move is okay-- provided it is

I decided to completely ignore the
threat of ...Bxf2+ and just gobble as
much material as I could as fast as I
could, and I came out a full piece
ahead, plus pawns.

I figure that 16. ...Kf7 was the last
chance to not hang any more material.

I didn't like Bc4 in this opening; the
Bishop can get kicked around or be
"forced" to trade for a lousy Knight (or
else retreat with loss of time). Next
time I may try the Morra Gambit.

Not all gambits. I like the Morra because
it is very difficult for Black to exploit his
extra pawn, while White has an easier
time in the first two thirds of the game: the
opening and middle-game. I cannot seem
to visualize a scenario in which the
GetClub program snatches the pawn,
defends perfectly, and then converts a
single pawn advantage to a win against me
in the endgame. (Maybe it's just me, but
this seems virtually impossible.)

And this one is also surprising. Most engines would see the exchange
sequence as the least bad materialistic continuation here assuming a
half decent quiessence search they should find the following combination
easily on extensions (and always at a full width 7 ply search):

17. ... NxB
18. BxR RxB
19. Nxd5 Bxh2+
20. Kxh2 RxN

Its very bad to see how Help Bot win such a strong Opponent so easily.

A /strong/ opponent? Where? I don't see
any strong opponent.

Something is wrong with its capture or quiessence logic. It should have
easily seen these exchanges at move 17.

19. Bxh2+ is a sort of spite check but it facilitates taking white
knight. I wonder if the anti-spite check is a bit too heavy handed.

Today a modification was done in its capture technique. I hope now it
will not do such mistakes.

Only after a few games are played I will know if the problem is
removed or not. I am playing a few games against Rybka to see if
GetClub has improved or not.

Jester easily got the center position and trapped the king in the
