    Still can't consistently beat the computer on its hardest setting.

Hmm, you shouldn't be embarrassed. The world's best chess player at the time lost to a computer in 1997. Unless you're a chess grandmaster, computers have been handily beating humans for awhile. I recommend The Most Human Human by Brian Christian for further reading in the area of machine intelligence.

Sure, but I guarantee you that the AI governing my little iPhone app isn't up to that level. Maybe it's still somewhat formidable, but the main issue is that I'm no grandmaster. :)
