I was able to force a draw against it with a brilliant ROOK sac. Not tryna brag or anything but it was a sweet move. I’ve played it 10 times and it’s never played below a 2200 rating level. These chess guys are a little quirky.

Recently, in one game I played neck and neck with it, but lost a heartbreaker in the end game. I received a 2150 game rating. In another game, I drew and received a 2050. These were the highest game ratings I've ever gotten, so I guess the fierce competition is helping me improve.

I JUST DEFEATED THE INSIDIOUS NEFARIOUS SNOWBOARDER! I can't believe it! A giant step for mankind! I guess miracles can happen. I went up in the game when he blundered and allowed me to fork his king and rook with my knight. As the game progressed I continued to outmaneuver him until, GULP, he pinned my queen to my king with his rook. But I then counter-attacked and pinned HIS queen to his king with my rook. I then captured his queen, but he was unable to take my rook in exchange. He then captured my queen with his rook and I took his rook with my king, putting me in a decisively winning position. From then on, all I had to do was make sure I didn't blunder, and I managed not to. If anyone is interested in seeing the game, here it is:

Two in a row against the bot I thought was invincible. Today, February 10, 2026, I defeated Snow Boarder again and procured my highest game rating to date: 2150.

I played at least 15 games with this bot. Manage to draw two. I am 1700 in rapid, have won against 2200 and 2100 bots. No way this bot is 1800 it always has performance rating 2000+ against me. And it plays way better after I get some advantage. Just lost with a piece up.

Ok, after I posted here I won the next game! 
Just play king's gambit and you will win.
Has anyone else played the Snowboarder bot? Supposedly it is 1800 strength but it plays flawlessly -- more like a master or grandmaster. I have defeated 1800 and 1859 bots before on chess.com, but I don't stand a chance against this monster. Why is it rated only 1800?
