Chess Titan vs Lichess engine match

So I decided to pit Chess Titans level 10 against Lichess Stockfish level 8. Not only did Chess Titans lose horribly, it also took ~20 seconds to make a move. I might try it again with pawn/knight/rook/queen odds if you guys are interested.

wow titan got crushed, didnt realise how weak it really was

Interesting!

I'm pretty sure Chess Titans has the same (lousy) AI as was offered in Windows Entertainment Packs:

Contrast that with what Apple offers!

chess titans is quite weak , its been a while since I test it but its probably around 1600-1700 fide/uscf
lichess level 5 is around chess titans level 10(if I recall).

Actually, it's not known for certain just what engine Chess Titans uses, but it's most certainly not the one that Windows Chess used in the Windows Entertainment Pack, which actually used Ziggurat by David Norris.

His site went offline sometime last year, but is fortunately archived here, complete with downloads of the original 16-bit WepChess! :)

Digression: SkiFree was also another great thing to come out of WEP! http://ski.ihoc.net/

I would have personally done a best 2 out of 3 at least for the test, but in general the more games the better. I agree that Titan got pulverized, but the game could have been not indicative of what usually happens.
I'm sure stockfish is actually better than titan, but by that much? We can't tell with only one game.

I have one question!

How could Zug win SF8?

Zug played 1 0 and spent 2 hours trying to trick SF. With short time it can sometimes overlook threats.

Was SF tired? XD. Could be some problem with code. It sounds more logical.
