Let's try out something actual. My advice is to use stockfish against those bots, and you won't get banned for cheating either. I hope this helps those who are unable to beat their first chess bot.

Perhaps you were joking but in case this was meant seriously, it's definitely not a helpful way to learn. You'd be just tossing in engine moves without actually thinking about it nor developing any plan.

Also guys this is a forums subcategory dedicated to beginners (aka the name For Beginners), more specifically this post is meant for people that are taking their first steps in chess. If you can beat Martin no sweat, that's nice and congrats, but there are people learning from the very beginning and thus this will be helpful for them.

Use assist mode if you're a weak player who's playing with very very advanced bots

I like your opinion, but sorry, since I am a 14-year old, I forgot to add the sentence "Never cheat in actual games, or you will not improve. Focus on playing on your own." Thanks for the correction you made @Wind
