According to a chess.com support bot, "The strength of Li-BOT, or any other bot on https://Chess.com, doesn't change based on whether you're playing on a desktop or laptop. All our bots, including Li-BOT, are powered by Komodo chess engine. The bot's strength remains consistent regardless of the device you're using to play. When you play against a bot on https://Chess.com, you're essentially playing against the Komodo engine, which maintains its set strength level across all platforms. So, you can expect the same level of challenge from Li-BOT whether you're using a desktop or a laptop." I guess that settles the great debate. I still do not believe that Nelson is 1300.
@JHACKIL,
No, predefined agent response doesn't settle any debate. Go now start a game against bot, then shut down your internet connection. And keep playing. Observe bot is still making moves. How? In your browser's network tab observe komodo.wasm file was downloaded. That's the answer. Yes, that's the komodo engine, true. And that's the proof that it runs on your device, not on server. And there's no guarantee it's not configured with time-limit per move. With time-limit, moves will be weaker on a weaker PC. It is quite possible. You can't be sure. Try Komodo separately on your Desktop in a Desktop chess UI app. This makes total sense because users have reported many times on this forum that bots play weak moves on weak devices. I see no reason to trust blindly that there's no time limit. It's very easy to set up local desktop chess UI to play against Komodo and configure it, I could help you with that. LucasChessR has it built-in and has access to all the settings and by the way it's way more settings than chess.com allows you to use. Skill Level 14 is what should represent 2000 Elo @ 5|5 Blitz so all you need to configure really is the skill level but you can also try personality setting.
Does system resources affect bot strength in Lucas Chess?
