Impressive game!
But I think Moron made a blunder with 130 Nxe3#. Kxe3 was far better as it permanently prevents to win the game. After Kxe3 Moron is assured that he can't mate you anymore. At worst he concedes a draw, and at best, he gets mated (if you blunder and accidently deliver check mate, which is an easy thing to do with so many pieces on the board)
Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.

Wow, you're right Lucas!
I guess that's another bug to fix...

Impressive! the weakest setup of Rodent managed only to drop the queen, but couldn't change the result.

This is already possible is SCIDvsPC, under the play > computer phalanx
Its also called tactical game, you can set a fixed ELO or random (1200-2200) ELO. Also you can specify the random interval a range like 1600-1900, also you can set specific openings to play and a coach.
Its great fun.

My idea is that the engine set the things, not you, This last operation is available since time ago in many programs, I know.
