Chess.com Bots

Their bot ratings are nonsense.

Don't worry some smart alec know it all will be along shortly to explain everything.

From what I've seen, it can also be down to you knowing it's a real opponent, so you start to get nervous. Also, players have some days when they perform better than other days which is a factor, like in good condition or not. The blunders or mistakes players make aren't as simple as how bots blunder, but rather a miscalculation or wrong move order and it's up to us to spot it and capitalize on it. Also the bots, from what I feel, the bots perform worse by about -500 to -300 elo and sometimes they feel tougher than normal, and players are either underrated (not yet reached their true rating) or the overall pool in a certain rating is now stronger than before.

Yep I have had the same thing happen. Also sometimes I'll play like an 1800 bot, and when I check game review, it will often say it played like 2050. Rarely do I see the game review actually place the play at the bots rating. More often I see it usually about 100 to 150 above the bot.
