Does Chess.com use Bots as Players on their live Games?

They are 100% cheats , they do it in bullet games, its done with members who play for free its not just the bots they pitch against you as real players but uses other unfair tactics to downgrade your ratings from 1300 to 700, they use bots they eat up your time in a i min game, they even freezes your moves at decisive moments when you are going to checkmate your opponent and you looses the game due to time.

I assure you they do. They just don't want you to know. Just like years ago they denied having rampant cheating. Now we all know online chess is nearly unplayable due to cheating. Lie lie lie. Nothing new. The OTHER site is far better than this disgrace of a site.

Finally people are waking up to the thing i have been saying for over 2 years now. I love playing accounts created 10 years ago that have not played a singular game in over 9 years and came back last week and gained 700 points. Yeah sure lol. Like 50% or maybe even more of the accounts i face are created within the last couple of month to couple of hours ago. (it would be much more, but i dodge them)

The biggest proof that they use bots on the website is the existance of this Martin_Stahl guy 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, this Martin_Stahl guy exhibits some AI behavior, definitely not human.

I wouldn't be surprised if they used two strategies. One, bots at different levels, not to intentionally bring down your rating but to make sure you are at the level you are supposed to be at. I am not against that.

The second use is similar to their daily puzzles. I remember they said something where a day like Monday has the easiest puzzles, then they get more difficult as the week progresses. This means at certain times you will get stronger competition.

The natural instinct here is to rematch or play someone else instead of stopping. Try this approach. Play a game after a 3 or more hour break. If you win, play more. If you lose, you can try one or two more, but if you continue to lose, STOP. Wait.

This might be a way that they prevent cheating. I played a game where I lost my queen, and there was an easy mate but they also lost their queen. They make it so your accuracy levels in the game are matched by "the opponent". I find this very hard for a human to achieve.

Another thing you can try is just take all their pieces and see if they resign. A human is more likely to do this because they know the result. If it is a computer it will continue and make moves to get you in a stalemate. Hard to believe an opponent would miss forks, captures, make bad queen moves and then all of a sudden become an endgame specialist. $$$$$$!$ this sounds like something a bot would say! There have been some plays where seems normal then random dumb moves, then they smoke every last move like happens when playing bots pretending to be on your level. Does this happen to others? Or are real people playing brain dead then score perfect moves? Is that a thing? I cant prove its a bot or someone cheating , but it reminds me of the low ranking computer bots blundering, then acing.
