Stockfish Level 1!?

Stockfish Level 1 is too difficult for beginners. I've been practicing, studying, and really trying to get better but I just can't win when "playing the computer". Also, the computer makes its move instantly and perhaps it's more psychological but it's really demoralizing when it does that on every move. I know I have a lot to work on, but my point here is that it's hard getting started with this crazy hard CPU.
Hello @thatmanphil. The first level of the computer is unfortunate. I do not understand how you can not win even if you are a beginner. Forget the time it takes to make the movements. Most of those movements will be terrible. I am sure that with your thought you will make better movements than Stockfish Level 1.

Have a nice day!
hello mr thatmanphil. Stockfish level 1 must be a valid opponent for beginners,none is happy if wins easily.If you go on to work on your chess,one day you will beat it!
Well yes, Stockfish level 1 is going to beat if you resign! Only 6 of the 31 games you've lost to it end in checkmate. lichess.org/CWqmEAei/black#39

You're up a rook and a pawn here. You're still winning!

Beginners are commonly advised never to resign, as the opponent can always blunder.
Stockfish level 1 is useful only for hyper and ultra games. You just cannot beat it , its speed is incredible.
I also find it useful after a hard day at work... I can play noone better than this...
the AI is shady... it gives away free pieces at level 3 even, only to whip me in the endgame (I'm also a beginner)

I love losing though because I learn new stuff every time, so I always play the bot that I can't beat
Hello @thatmanphil. When you play against Stockfish lvl 1, just set up very much traps. A.I lvl 1 often makes blunder and walks to trap.

PS. Sorry for my poor english skills.
