Yes and yes. Use an offline engine to analyze and just play higher rated bots than you would expect.
Thank you for the response and advice, I will operate this way from now on!
Game Analysis says Chess.com Bots don't play at skill level?

Has anyone noticed that according to Game Analysis, bots don't play according to their skill level?
I pretty much exclusively play casual OTB at work and just use bots to scratch the itch, but curiosity got to me and I started using the game analysis to see where I could improve and I learned that most of the time none of the bots actually play at their rating level. This culminated in a bot rated 1400 (David) being rated at 350 for my most recent match.
What's going on here? I want an honest challenge and to be punished for playing like a 700. You don't learn by being handed wins?
If every single bot is bugged to play at no more than half its displayed strength like I'm seeing in my last 5 matches, do I need to challenge a 2000 bot in order to actually face a 1000 rating and improve? Or is Game Analysis just a terrible tool?
