First start with noob bot like Martin etc . And start improving by playing with some advanced boat as a novice ( suggested: Martin family) (exception : Martina)

1. Understand the Basics Learn the moves: Make sure you know how the pieces move (pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, and king). Control the center: Try to place your pieces (especially pawns) in the center of the board to have more control over the game. Develop your pieces: Move your knights and bishops out early, rather than making too many pawn moves. This helps create opportunities for later moves. 2. Play Defensively Don’t rush: Avoid making careless moves; try to think a few steps ahead. Look for threats: Before moving, check if the bot is threatening to capture any of your pieces. Always protect your valuable pieces like the queen, rooks, and pawns. 3. Tactical Awareness Forks: This is when you attack two or more of your opponent’s pieces at once, forcing them to lose material. Pins and Skewers: Pinning an opponent’s piece means it can't move because doing so would expose a more valuable piece. A skewer is when a more valuable piece is in front, and moving it exposes a less valuable one. Check and Checkmate: Always keep an eye on your opponent’s king, especially when they are under check. Try to place their king in check often, leading to checkmate. 4. Avoid Blunders Think carefully: Before making a move, ask yourself if it exposes your pieces to an attack or opens your king to a check. Practice: Try to recognize simple tactics and patterns that commonly appear, like forks and pins, so you don’t overlook them. 5. Endgame Strategy King Safety: As the game progresses, make sure your king is safe. Avoid leaving your king exposed or too far from your remaining pieces. Simplify: If you're ahead in material (e.g., you have more pieces), try to simplify the position by trading pieces. This reduces the bot’s ability to attack. 6. Use Bot's Weaknesses Bots can have patterns: Many chess bots, especially beginner-level ones, might make repetitive or predictable moves. Try to recognize these patterns and exploit them. Play at your pace: Bots typically have a set time for thinking. Use that to your advantage by forcing them into situations where they have fewer good moves. 7. Stay Calm Don’t get discouraged: If you lose a few games, that’s part of the learning process. Just keep practicing and you will improve over time.

I used hints to help me understand how the pieces move, I also reviewed my games to see any mistakes, and fix them.
