Peirre, the 1500 bot from chess.com is complete disscusting and should be rated way above 1500

Hello reader,

In the last halve a year that I have faced many bots to practice my skills, usually I hit a hard cap around the 1700 elo rating. The bots rated 1500 and 1600 elo I tent to beat, but Pierre is the big exception, in all my tries I have never been able to beat him. he is so quick to punish slight mistakes it almost feels like cheating to me (thou bots by definition cannot cheat). And every time I check the replays he has an accuracy of well in the 90 precent. It is rare for him to make bad moves, what is even worse is that he plays very aggressive chess. He is more then willing to sacrifice pawns to quickly develop pieces. I have never been able to hold on to my pawn lead against him. I have also never been able to translate a winning position into a won game against Pierre. Even thou I have been able to do so against bots rated 1700+. Therefore I insist that Pierre is unfairly rated 1500 elo when in actuality I say he is closer to a 1700 elo rating. That is just my experience, pls share your ideas with me on how to beat him and if you also have had trouble with Pierre in the past.

I just beat him first try as a test. You are quite low rated so certain styles you will struggle with that are much higher than you rating. The highest I’ve beaten so far is a 2000 but I’ve only been playing the computer a few days

Well its a shame you’ve had to wait 2 years for an encouraging reply, I hope that you’re still playing on here.

I’ve beaten bots up to 1800 no take backs and I agree that Pierre is particularly difficult for 1500, I searched on google after he surprisingly beat me and found your comment. Based on my experience of the other bots I think that he’s comparatively a tricky 1600, but not difficult enough for 1700..

I correct myself after a few games, Pierre is not harder than 1500 due to silly errors but he does perform some really surprise moves for 1500 that you need to look out for or you’ll get thrashed.

I don’t think Pierre is 1500, he seems much less. 

He blunders 2-3 pieces a game in my experience.
