It was super easy to win, I just started at the easiest level and moved my way up to master. Granted, Veteran AI and Master AI won once against me and my rad suicidal moves (haha) but I beat them on my second, third and fourth tries.

It was a really good throwback game that me and my chess-obsessed friends played seven years back. To be frank, my friends all fight harder and smarter than the AI. It can be noted that the AI focuses on short-term decisions to win rather than gunning for the long-run (the entire match). I want to ask whether the difficulty is the actual rank of chess players on the international level or is it just the difficulty setting?

To clarify what I asked, are the difficulty level similar to chess player ranks if you go to a tournament? Like Master difficulty is actually something like Gary Kasparov trying his hand at playing the game Anti-chess?
