          Level three is about even. Haven't gone further, until I can beat it regularly on the lower levels.

          Mind you, I'm getting good at beating the phone on Checkers Free and Hearts Free.

            I feel better about my level 5 now

            Never played Hearts, but I've got free Solitaire, which is a bit annoying as it regularly deals hands that can't be solved, though I suppose the same would be true of a regular deck of cards.

              Wow, what about 9? At level 5 it seems to get ahead of me from the start and dominate the middle, perhaps I need to know some book openings, beyond pawn to K4.

                I'm not really a chess player. I also rely too much on the same moves time and time again, rather than learning anything about strategy and how to actually play the game.

                I suspect that if I played against a person who was theoretically the same ability as me, they would wipe the floor with me, because they don't respond in the same kind of way that a computer does.

                  Beat level 10 on third attempt. it's pretty good but lousy at end game.
