Is it impossible to beat certain bots with certain openings?

like if you play a good bot and do the Barnes opening?

Start slow.

1. Develop your minor pieces.
Develop center pawns.
Develop towards the center.
Develop knights before bishops (Not written in stone).
2. Castle.
3. Connect your rooks.

Blunder check your moves.

Ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"

Blunder less than your opponent.
Take your time!
Think about your plan and your opponent’s plan.

no i mean if you do a certain sequence of moves (to a certain bot), is it impossible to win?

Yes...when it comes to openings:

1. Develop your minor pieces.
Develop center pawns.
Develop towards the center.
Develop knights before bishops (Not written in stone).
2. Castle.
3. Connect your rooks.

Sorry I didn't make it clear, I meant:

Are there bots that beat you 100% on certain openings? (aside from fool's mate)

LieutenantFrankColumbo

They are chess engines set to varying rating abilities. They are not set to play certain openings.

Whatever bot you play is just an engine set to play at a certain rating. They play the best move they can find based on there rating level.

There is no "magic" opening engines use and none a human can use.

thx. If anyone finds one though it would be fun.

How do you propose we find, come up with or develop an opening that has never been played? And works 100% of the time?

We get right back to what others have been posting about for decades. "Can a perfect game of chess be played?" The answer is no. Chess is played by imperfect humans. Chess engines are created by imperfect humans.

oh it doesn't have to be a new opening, it has to just be:

An opening that if you do it, it is impossible to win against a bot. (any bot)
