I think bots are rubbish, sometimes it will say I played a 1400 game yet am struggling to crack 900 IRL!! also i think watching chess opening trap or game videos might actually be bad for you....what's everyone think?

Bot ratings are inflated, and opening traps won’t help you learn because you’re just memorizing moves to get a trap that most likely won’t happen and the reason why there are so many opening trap vids online is because they are easy to make and many people is mislead into them being good.
