Bot rating vs Human rating - Azeez Nightmare

Sort:
sasadangelo

Hi all,

I am a newbie in chess and chess.com and I noticed that human rating (in rapid) is not aligned with bot rating. For example, I have a rapid rating > 350 and I struggle to beat people > 390 but I can easily beat bot up to1000.

For example, when I started to reach my stable rating (about 200) I was able to easily beat the bots with a 700 rating. Then I struggled a bit with Emir (it took me almost a week to learn how to beat him ... today I am able to beat him but I am not able to explain how). In the meanwhile, I increased my ranking and I am stuck with Azeez.

It does a lot of strange open and defense moves out of the center but at the end, it almost always beat me. My rule is to move to the next bot as soon as I beat consistently the current one but with Azeez, I am having troubles.

There are few videos on the Internet but the authors simply play against Azeez but don't explain the rationale behind their moves:

I don't want to learn to move by memory, I want to understand why I found this opponent so hard to beat and what theory could help me to win against him.

Any suggestion?

According to me, it is best to play bots according to their description. For example, in some bots description it is written they like to keep things simple so you must mix things up against them or something like that. Anyway, the same came to my mind. When I used to be 800, I defeated Nelson who is 1300

So bots play only moves that are aligned to that rating. A human may play worse or better moves than their rating allowing them more freedom in moves

Not sure I completely understand.

I do not know what the bots really do, what I know for sure is that:

1. rating of Emir is 1000 and I beat him

2. I struggle with Humans with a rating > 450

From this, the conclusion is that Emir doesn't play like a Human of 1000 rating. You said that the bot play moves according to his rating. If this is true, why I can beat Emir easily than a 450 rating human?

Yeah I'm 400 in rapid and I defeated a 1600 bot, Isabel

Bot ratings are weird. I think, but am just guessing, they are programmed as teaching tools. What I mean is the very low bots make big blunders to help you spot blunders (and ignore yours to give you a chance to spot the mistake). Humans don't do that, they try to beat you, so not the same thing. But, learn to spot blunders and you will progress. Mix bot games as training with real games, and you will do fine.
