If you beat Intermediate bots with little or no difficulty and struggle against these advanced bots just keep in mind that there is no need to rush. Just keep playing normal moves such that there is not much advantage for black or white (for eg. eval bar between+1 to -1) . Then look for some attacking options or if they attack just exchange or defend properly. Then probably in the middle game they will give a piece or you will find an advantage and you will be in a winning position if you continue to play well till the end. If they grab a piece and are at an advantage then only engine can save you as they would attack relentlessly. I've been playing them regularly and probably the game goes in the end and they would make some mistake or inaccuracy or sometimes I would make inaccurate moves and lose. This game I played was really good and I was not expecting to win this quickly against Isabel as she blundered a piece after some moves and couldn't handle the attack.

Just practice the puzzles, play decent chess (as we cannot play the best moves everytime like the GMs cry) and you will win against these bots almost everytime. Check this game and have a wonderful day happy.png.

I can't even beat Antonio.

She is really tough, and plays a violent game, can't beat her by playing normal moves, u have to confuse her by mixing classical and hypermodern principles that is form a six pawn broad centre and fianchetto both bishops , with the combined power of tarrasch and nimzovitch at your disposal u can annihilate her

For some reason every time I play the bot it ends up rating her like, 2000, and I am starting to think chess.com lied about her elo. I just beat a 2050 bot, and just after I got crushed by Isabel.

I can beat li but not isabel

I am super proud finally I beat Isabel today after 2 months. I went for a London setup but had to do something different after c5. 😊🙏 The crazy thing is that I made a huge blunder, I was totally losing but somehow managed to turn it around

What a game

Tried twice when saw that topic and in second time succeeded, although made some bad moves himself. But after move 38 when rooks were gone, bot played quite strange https://www.chess.com/game/computer/71680533

My game against Isabel was relatively easy, I beat her before and I've beat even harder bots like wally,the key is just to punish her mistakes,in this case she blundered her queen and I took advantage of it, leading me to the win

This is the best game I have ever played against Isabel. I had done quite a few bluders but she was worse...... (: (:

Maybe I am wrong but it seems to me that Isabel (and some other bots) are starting make mistakes in some point when they have not crushed you fast enough. They get angry as humans grin.png

I just played Isabel for the first time and beat her from seven points down. I'm sure she'll beat me the next eight times we play but that's my biggest scalp so far.

To be honest, just play solid lines and check your pieces for attacks on them and just look at your enemy pieces and see their lines of fire. Just don't make any crazy blunders and play solid setups and you should be good

or play the birds opening for the easiest way to win

After 2 months of trying I finally beat her. It felt like she had no weaknesses and would always capatalize on my every mistake. What a relief. She is definetly not the best endgame player.
