  "Tough" is stretching it more than a bit.

  While it is playing much faster than it used to, it is still
  nowhere near the claimed times, typically being 1.5 to 2 times the
  maximum stated.

  It exceeds the time limit even by the clock on the page, which runs
  10% to 50% slower than real time.

> Play with Normal level for big Challenges.

  The only challenge is staying awake.

  It took more than 4 minutes, at Normal level, to make the first
  move, and is currently ay 8 minutes for move 2...

  10 minutes, now, though the clock claims only 368 seconds.

   For the first nine moves, the game has not taken less than 4
   minutes for a move, and all except 3 moves have taken more than 10
   minutes. Even if it were making outstanding moves, that would be
   too long for a reasonable game. As it is, the moves are a joke.
   Look at the start of the game:

      1. f4  d5    {  4:00+ }
      2. e3  Be6   { 14:00+ }
      3. b3  Qd7   {  6:00+ }
      4. Bb2 a5    { 14:05 (claiming 622 secs.) }

   It is now at 18 minutes for its 9th move... it moved at 19:30.

   Beginner and Easy levels are now playing at a decent speed, even
   though not at the speed claimed, but they cannot be called strong
   by any other than a rank beginner.
