Hey -

I was wondering why I have a 520 ish ELO but can beat a 1350 bot. Any suggestions on how I can get better at playing with real people?

Bot ratings don't correlate with human ratings.

yeah I'm only around 1000 but can beat a 2000 bot

Even the best bots have hard to find, but significant weaknesses and are in no way reflective of their rating.

Mittens didn't have a listed rating, but was also one of the strongest bots during its time.

Yes, bots are usually underrated by chess.com just to make people fell better (or something, no offense intended)

the bot are overrated

The most fun way to improve is to learn tactics. There are books that ask you to find the best move in certain theme and after few hundred of positions your understanding will be much better.

Then some tricks in openings, and, then endgames and the last is strategy

Well, I mean even if they are overrated, I can still do good right? So, why do I still have a 520 ELO?

bots tend to play decent for a few moves and then blunder or make a mistake

IceBurntPro

they never take the same level of risks and traps

its because bots are programmed to make occasional mistakes and blunders they have a huge inflation and they can be more obvious blunders unlike humans who likley hopefully don't hang there peices for free without a tactic inless its an intermediate move

Most bots are overrated. On my old account, when I was a 300, I could beat the Nelson Bot.

Bots are quite overrated, I managed to beat a 3200 elo bot as a 1600. As for how to improve, consistent effort and reviewing yuor games and doing puzzles should help

Bots are not great, like I can beat a 2000 rated bot and an only 1100.
