My first post so I might have missed the topic category, but here I go.
So I noticed that while I am playing a chess bot, and I pick a rating (for example 1800), I play it and then after the game I analyze a game and it says that it's rating is 1350 (or something like that). Does anybody know the reason why is it like that?
I am in range 1300-1400 so that is the explanation why it might be like that, but it bothers me because if I play vs 2000 rating bot in hope of becoming better, I would not benefit much if it is the same as 1350 bot, if that makes sense?
The bots aren't really well rated. Their ratings don't adjust to appropriate levels. Their "ratings" now would probably be more accurate if they were allowed to play more slowly. They respond almost immediately now.
Computers used to play rated games here but people figured out ways to "farm" them for ratings points . Chess.com took them out of rated play last year.
So now they are just here as a training tool and amusement. I think the "ratings" give an indication of their relative strength but are generally considered fairly inaccurate compared to rated player ratings.
