Whose the Bot? two roughly 1400 rated players ones a bot, ones not...

I have Played a bot in a game of Chess based of Maia Bot they are similair rated my guess within 50 elo of each other... lifetime i have a 6-4 record against the bot, But I have created my Own Maia engine at the 1000, 1400 and 1800 level so i can play it at my leisure and Create my own database of games versus the average human... Yup you read that right... Maia bot has a correlation higher than any other Engine ever created compared with humans of the same rating. So whose the Bot? I will release a youtube video proving who is the bot after some discussions if anyone wants to guess...

I will not give any clues... for my friends... the very few... you can get access to the video through my blog, but will release it here soon...
