Level 3 is the hardest difficulty this game offers. The goal is not necessarily to checkmate in the least number of moves but to deliver the checkmate that makes the computer "think" the least. Shorter "thinking" times are achieved by keeping the position simple and not giving the computer a lot of options to ponder. Here, the AI is manipulated into making some horrible moves.

The AI in this game appears to use no opening database, thus it can be manipulated into making some very dubious pawn moves which we immediately exploit and deliver a quick checkmate.
