what the hell is wrong with lichess stockfish level 1?

^citation needed

stockfish 1 depth is so low maybe 5-8

Yes... true. Should make stockfish only 1-5 and not that strong.

@AceBlade there are other engine's on here, called BOTS, but they are hard to find since they are not allowed to seek games. You have to send them a match request and see if it's a time control and variant that they are set to play.

It’s not that stockfish is too strong, it’s just the way it’s supposed to play. I don’t know what they adjust for each level, but I guess it’s the depth of “think”. Stockfish probably thinks something like two moves ahead. In classical format. You can easily beat it. But I’m bullet it just appears that on or two moves ahead is enough to be strong against the majority. In fact we don’t think much in bullet so that’s why it seems so strong. Bet it’s even stronger in ultra bullet. If there’s a quick threat or tactic it will take it, otherwise it is lost.

Your game is proving that it should be adjusted. You’re in the near 2000 elos. It shouldn’t need someone of your level to beat it.

also in ultra it is to op. i cant imagine even a 2000 rated player beating it. it moves quicker than a premove.

I just did a test game.

Yipp it is to strong ;-)
