The bots do not have accurate ratings. It’s pretty typical to be able to beat bots that have a much higher elo than you
Can easly beat 900 bots, but stuck at 500
Sort:
Low rated bots play perfect for a while, but then make obvious blunders. Most players play consistently throughout the whole game.

I think a lot of it comes down to play style. If I'm playing well and my 3 brain cells are in working order I can usually beat the 1500-1600 rated bot but then I will play a real person of similar rating to myself and they will play in ways I'm not used to or haven't seen much. Throw in time controls and a bit of panic and I'm back to square one in terms of chess knowledge.
Also it's worth noting at the bottom of all the chess bot portraits there is a manual slider you can adjust so you don't have to go from 900 to 1200, but 900 to 1000 instead if you wanted to. Good luck!

This is me right here, same ^
I beat 1000-1500 bots but have below 300 in blitz. I havent got much time for rapid but I have done better there. My conclusion is that I make huge blunders when I play against others. I do not do these blunders with bots... So why do I these blunders? It's because I do not do the basic check-list and overthink - think too strategically. Especially it is in middle games these things happen. I guess that applies for a lot of others as well: Great openings, big blunders in mid game and ok end-games (if you survive).

Do not play bots. Bots err, but in a non-human way.
I am about 500, and even though I have been playing chess for a while on a board, I am stuck on 500 while I can easily beat 900 bots. I haven't tried 1200 though
