Why can I beat 1300 elo bots but not 400 elo humans

I have same problem

The bots rating are over inflated and not realistic. Which is a shame because all it seems to do is give people an ego boost, one that turns sour when they start questioning themselves over why they can't play better against live opponents.

Nelson is a very obvious example of bots being overrated. When his queen is removed from the board, it seems as though half of his Elo goes down with it.

In general, though, the reason bots are easier to beat than people is because the bots are intentionally designed to randomly play incredibly stupid moves. A higher Elo merely reduces the chance of this happening and (usually) makes the "stupid" moves much less obvious, often making them appear more like genuine mistakes than just very clearly throwing the game. Humans, on the other hand, obviously cannot be "programmed" to randomly play dumb moves.

This is a very common and confusing situation that many players run into. I often explain to my students that bots and humans at that level play fundamentally different games; bots are programmed to make specific kinds of errors and are quite predictable, whereas human opponents are famously unpredictable and can play chaotic moves that are hard to anticipate. You've likely gotten good at exploiting the specific weaknesses of the bots, but navigating the messy, real-world chaos of human play is a completely different skill.

This is completely normal. I started with bots, because I was scared of playing humans right from the start. I could beat all the bots up to 1500 when I started to play humans, my rating after a few games vs human players was 252. The play styles are completely different, human players mostly succumb to tactics, whereas bots make random mistakes like not defending a piece that is attacked. To beat bots you have to play completely solid and not hang any material, then convert the endgame with good technique, once the bot has made a random mistake. Even a bot like Martin will always see a fork or a pin or a mate in 2, although it doesn't defend its pieces or take your hanging pieces. With humans, they mostly don't see if you are threatening a checkmate or not, so you can just checkmate them. If you are having trouble beating people over 370, just train checkmates and attacks very hard with puzzles.
