I used to play serious table tennis (USATT rating 1550, close to average).  The club had a robot that would shoot balls at you (very very spinny).  I looked really good against that robot, but I was never able to transfer those skills to real games.  Is playing chess robots similar?

I have been playing a bot slightly under my rating with no time limit and I believe it helps in playing safer chess if you have an aggressive loose style which can get you in trouble in live chess.
