Is there a way to see a list of all monthly bots since they created monthly bots on Chess.com? I don't want to play them, I just want to know the themes.
I don't believe that's available anywhere in a comprehensive list. Most months there's an article about the release, so it might be able to track most of them down

You can see the old bots you've played with if you've added the games to your archive, you may just have to scroll a while
This is the full archive of chess.com bots which I still update.

My 1987 elo opponent be like:- 🥴🥴🥴
Why does chess.com not allow the player to play against old bots? It was so fun
Oh yeah also, when playing vs the OSRS bots in the mobile port you cant choose the visuals nor sound, and, to be honest, ngl, sorry but, the OSRS chess pieces design kinda suck, i can bearly tell a diference between my king and queen, and i would play more vs Bob the cat so i can win, but the sound that plays when a piece is captured, every time i hear that sound, my ears beg me to close the chess app. But this now currently kinda useless sense the osrs bots will be gone in 4 days to make room for the future bots
