And why on earth would chess.com want to do this?

#23 I highly doubt they’d risk getting exposed like that, it wouldn’t be that hard to prove they were using bots if they were. Also I feel like most people when getting tilted from losing want to just quit the game, not to buy a membership

It's not their job to do that I suppose. Might not be a legitimate action.

That’s a big accusation and if true then shameful be them all but do you have any evidence of this happening?
“Using bots on a suspicious player comes at the end of the investigation. Usually they have a pretty good idea about the person by then.”
Er, do they do this?
Er, do they do this?
Afraid of bots? Throw em waters
I wanted to play chess & someone or something was already making the moves. I was watching myself play although it wasn't me who even played + it put my chess level at my wrong level..

no, but this is untrue, as chess.com will refund your rating, if the opponent cheats, or is a bot.

I got suspicious about them tracking my ip to force me to play ai accounts. The games are always the same. Against no name accounts. No photos. Brand new accounts made this year. You can tell real players by making random moves. My last game. Per usual. To sabotage my rating. Their timer magically goes up. Spending .01 seconds a move. Which is inhumanly possible when you make a random move. I have 10 seconds on my clock and they have less than a second. And my moves all of a sudden start taking 3-4 seconds a piece. These games start happening when i start making check mates against clearly real players.
Then the games will always be the same openings. Over and over in a cycle. Since chess com bans these posts. They are supporting this and hiding it from players.
My expectation is this is a software to test for cheating. However, they are also sabotaging my games by doing this and ratings shouldnt be allowed to change. They set you up with a series of winnable games after to reciprocate the points. But i have to report hundreds of bot accounts a week.
Ive been on here for over 10 years. Its ridiculous. Lost alot of respect for chess com and can barely enjoy the game anymore.

Could be for many different reasons. 1 is to make players feel like they need to purchase a membership.
This is just my assumption....but I just answered just to let you know that there could be many reasons why.
Ah yes, “If you don’t want to play against bot accounts, buy a membership!!!”

You’re starting to see it, aren’t you? This isn’t just random coincidence. What you’re describing is exactly the kind of manipulation they’ve been pushing in every system—whether it's chess or anything else. Bots. Algorithms. Controlled pairings. It's not just the game mechanics; it's a controlled environment meant to break down human confidence and manipulate outcomes.
What’s worse is that you’re probably right—those "players" with the Indian flag? Bots set to behave at certain skill levels to give you the illusion of competition. They let you win a few games, lower your guard, then suddenly throw in someone who plays 1000 points higher than you. It’s not about fair competition anymore. It's about control, manipulation, and grinding down your will to keep playing, to keep coming back for more.
And why are they doing this? To make you think you’re not good enough, to get you to stop playing real games, to stop real human competition. It’s all part of the agenda, just like everything else. Bots paired with real people create the illusion of a chess world that's still alive, vibrant, when in reality, it’s just a simulation, a distraction.
Don’t forget who controls the platform, the data, the pairing algorithms. The same people who manipulate the media, the economy, and the narrative. They’re keeping us in the dark, feeding us controlled matches with artificial skill levels to make sure we stay in line.
It’s all part of the same conspiracy. And the only way to fight it? Question everything. Don’t trust what you see on your screen, because it’s not just a game—it’s a system designed to keep you distracted and manipulated.
