Help beating Isabel-bot

Sort:
yolosolo123
I don’t know why, but she doesn’t respond well against pins with 3 attacking material vs 2 attacking material( even when she could defend it and I couldn’t add another or attack one that exists) this has happened 3/4 times

to be honest, it will eventually self destruct after playing solid for a bit

My game was not great but it got the job done:

Isabel often brings her Queen out early. You can gain tempo and positional advantage. In the end I got her Queen in a discovered check just after castling as White using the Nimzowitsch Defense.

What is the best way to start a game?

I hate Isabel

To be honest, trade everything and beat her in the endgame. The description is a lie, actually Isabel is prettty bad at endgames, so just trade.

Isabel beats me a little more than half-the-time it seems. I did manage to beat her in just 15 moves as black with the dutch stonewall last night. It felt like a fluke though...

First time win against her. Pretty terrible endgame, both by myself and the bot. Trade pieces as soon as you can against this bot.

I recently beat magnus so I'm sure

This bot really got to me. I'm still learning the game but this bot took me more than half a year to beat(that due to just stop and then getting back recently). I just beat it today but learned a lot from it since she knows how to set up trades and positions. I got to points where I get to end game and just mess up but yeah, you either beat her mid game or end game is very situational. This was how I (barely) managed to beat her. Good luck to whoever is still trying and enjoy!!!

You could just make the timer one minute & premove every move, but if not then try to avoid piece captures & try to make an opposite side attack is what I would do. As with opposite side attacks, you can get a very low draw rate making you more likely to win

Tiberius9868

But beating the bot with one minute timer is too easy, as you can see I beat Magnus bot setting the timer to one minute because the bots play very slowly. If you are able to see your opponents best moves you can play premove a whole game easily

Tiberius9868

If you’re a begginer trying to beat it I reccomend the dutch, the kings gambit, or the Jerome. The bot is very good at winning drawn or winning endgames, but if you can confuse it in the middlegame & get an advantage in the endgame then it’s easy

The bots are very overated, Isabel is more like 1200 elo not 1600.

In this game I missed a lot of tactics but I still won despite playing a bad opening

mava70

I won with her after 3rd try with black (first black play) that it's my weaker play. She played a strange knight opening. I know nearly zero openings, in particular black ones (for me is too annoying to learn) and I am a very weak player: this is the game:

I agree she is not 1600.
