CHESS.COM BOT LORE—MAKE THEORIES HERE

Mittens came back as Sensei to take revenge. After years of training, it's now stronger than it ever used to be. AND IT'S GONNA TAKE OVER CHESS.COM!!! (Not the last part maybe.)
Sensei is rated 3000, whilst Mittens was rated 3250 to 3500. So...

I think the bots are just random move generators, that people have figured out how to rig, and the best bots are just the most rigged random move generators.

Maybe that's why I can't beat the bots that I really want to beat, they just spook me so hard I blunder and give away the moves I fear most.
that's true. in that case you have to really feel and really believe that you can beat them, and your moves will do the rest for you.
but only if you truly believe.

...maybe Mittens comes back every few months but gets weaker? WHICH MEANS WE WILL BE ABLE TO BEAT HIM WITHOUT PLAYING JOBAVA LONDON!?
