A serious problem with the computer bots :
 
 
 
Recently, I played against the 'generation bots' on Chess.com and found something very interesting. Well, there was nothing special in each of them except the last but one. I started a game like usual and got black. As I premoved my opening moves, the bot, with a rating of over 2100, made such simple blunders that it caught my attention later that I was indeed playing a 2150 bot and not a 1000 one. At one instance, it felt as if the bot wanted to 'recapture' on the fourth move, but played the move which meant to recapture; but a move later. I noticed that this thing happens if one blitzes his/her moves, as I was premoving my first three to four moves on each bot. I do get the fact that bots at the 2000 or 2100 level intentionally do make mistakes, but something as simple as this, shouldn't be overlooked. This post was made for the same reason. I want to know, if this is happening only for me or does it happen generally to everyone. A game has been provided below to highlight this very fact.
 
Thanks.
