      The hippo is the best attempt to defeat an engine in time or to get a draw, cause you can close all the pawn breaks and make long term maneuvers. It’s very passive and hard to get advantage with this opening that’s why you don’t see him playing this on normal games…

    Mittens is different from Stockfish in that it is much more sadistic than Stockfish, Stockfish doesn't underestimate his opponents and plays it safely until he find a weakness and swiftly exploits it to win. Mittens on the other hand, plays very aggressively and frustratingly, it leaves pieces it can take to weaken your position even more and then takes the piece to laugh in your face.

And he does not do blunders and does not give you tempo like other bots do.
