Hello Lichess,
Was there an update to the Lichess computer in the last few days? Level 1 and level 2 seem a lot easier. I'm not complaining!
We listened to feedback about beginners wanting to "play against the machine" and made some of the lower levels easier. I'm still trying to sort out errors on my end, but eventually it would be nice if the UI reflected the new AI ratings:
travis-ci.org/ddugovic/StockfishI am very happy with the idea of adjusting the strenght of the lowest levels.
level1 was, until recently, almost unplayable for beginners.
It used tactics (which beginners only learn after some training)
and it created "tension" on multiple sides of the board, forcing lots of blunders.
I imagine that the change must be very difficult to implement in software.
Lichess: Thank you very much for the effort and please do not give up!
Whew, that explains it.
I thought I had magically turned into Magnus Finegold.
It seems you were little bit to enthusiastic with lowering stockfish level.
It sucks at level 4 atm, it's worse than level 1 used to be.
Huh, strange, level 4 is supposed to be stronger than the previous level 1.

Also, is there any chance to adjust points for computer player strength accordingly to the new levels?
I was hoping I'd just got better!
Also, Horde AI seems broken to me. On the highest level you can now win thoughtlessly.
@PACEtrial Yes, it is broken for horde (and antichess). This was already fixed, but the fix is not deployed yet.
Stockfish 1 is rated with 1350? No offense but it's more like 600
