I would like to know the opinions of people who have played with bots extensively.

Yes, I have beaten the maximum engine in a slow game. Here's the game:

My peak rapid elo on chess.com was 1821, but maybe I'm underrated idk. Best bot I've beaten before is Alexander ("2450"). I will take usually a full hour, maybe two on these games, absolutely no assistance whatsoever. Somehow beat Komodo25 "maximum." Inexplicable blunder with Qxf1, my best guess is the engine was on low depth and didn't see that it's knight was getting trapped at the end of the line. Either way, I am pretty proud of that game. It was my 6th attempt to beat Komodo after losing the previous 5 games.
I’ve beaten komodo25, but with tons of takebacks. I think it wasn’t playing so well though as it made some mistakes. Here’s the game anyway: https://www.chess.com/game/computer/282256354
Has anyone managed to beat the Maximum chess engine (Komodo 25) in challenge mode without cheating? Hikaru managed to beat the 3250-rated Martina bot so I wonder if the 3200-rated Maximum can also be defeated by a human.
