How to beat Devon?

Am I just a bad chess player or something? I mean, I've only been playing since March 26, but I really feel like I should've beat Devon the adaptive bot by now.

But gosh he's annoying to play against. Is anyone else struggling to beat him? If not, can anyone give me Devon's general weaknesses?

Devon is rated 1600 and has no discernible weaknesses like the more esoteric bots. You will probably just have to get more experience - keep at it but play human games too. Bot only practice can create some odd blind spots.

I just started playing against him and won the 2nd try. For me the polish opening works well in a match where I’m the underdog. It’s easy to defend developing pieces and allows a very strategic endgame and middle game where you can really take advantage of any forks you see. Best of luck
