I just wanted to beat her with no help 😅
Isabel-Bot is the most annoying bot...

I pulled a draw vs Fundy-bot. But that was because of material. Not forcing a draw. I think Isabel-bot is just trying to make me feel bad ☹️

That's one thing that I like about bots. A low rated human often will choose to blunder a known draw rather than just accepting the draw and calling it a day. Even if you point it out.
A low rated bot will go for the draw rather than lose, so you have to be guard for every draw possibility.
However, a high rated player looks for the draw, so it is good to experience that at lower ratings.

That is true but then there has to be a draw button

Both players have to accept a draw for that button to work.

Of course anyone is allowed to force a draw like that.
Do you think that bots can play something that isn't allowed?

And I don't think bots ever accept draw offers
49 Kd5 Rd7+ 50 Kc4 Rb2 51 Rh8 Rxb7 52 Rh7+ Kany 53 Rxb7 was one of the ways to win.
it took me a half a year with a total of 50 hours of games against Isabel to beat her no help. I think I suck.

The game wasn't a draw though, you were dominating. Your king could go wherever it wanted. As soon as you moved your king away from check your rook is looking at something like h8 where even if their rook took your pawn you just go to h7, putting their king in check and taking their rook. On top of your pawn that is so close to queen you have 2 pawns on the kingside your king can go to.

Yes
You need Silman's end game course 
. It will teach you those pesky rook end games. Blacks' king is dangerously placed on f7. You just need to walk your king towards the rook to stop the checks. When she eventually plays Rb2 or Rc7 to guard the pawn you just play Rh8. She won't be able to prevent promotion without sacrificing her rook. Because if she takes the pawn you win the rook with a skewer (Rh7+).

The thing about the Isabel-bot is that she's programmed to by super aggressive. If she has the choice between playing the best move and playing a slightly worse aggressive move, she will always choose to be aggressive.
In general, given a certain rating, the bots will play openings and endgames far better than humans and middle games worse. They are given an opening book, so they almost always play several moves of theory, and in endgames they aren't going to make the kinds of mistakes humans make; rather, just random one once in a while. Bots are great to practice endgames against.
I am not too sure if you are allowed to force a draw like that
