Russian draughts engine Vakhtan

Thank for playing. There are difficulty levels. What's your rating?

Well, if you are CM, it makes perfect sense.
JavaScript is the slowest programming language but it gives the option to play right in browser via a static html page. Nevertheless both search and evaluation can be improved, but my goal was to make a sparring partner for myself (absolute beginner) and hence I need a program that I can beat. Also it's nearly impossible to play Russian draughts online with longer time control and beginner level players - I can only find my strength opponents on checkers.online but it's Brazilian rule set. My engine, btw solves up to 13 plies (6 moves) combinations and hence never misses those. It can only be outplayed positionally because all it knows is material and trying to put pieces on central squares, no other knowledge.

@cmk You have an explanation in your own post. Normally, any CM should be able to spot 6 move (13 plies) combos without an aid, and even to solve up to 9 move combos by calculation. As well, this information means that your engine isn't adapted for king endgames which can be won in more than 11 moves (23 plies).
