I wondered Mechanical Turk's elo so I played againist him with using other bots in chess.com and it beated Magnus Carlsen's bot so The Mechanical Turk's elo is above 2882 which makes him the strongest bot in chess.com
I think that The Mechanical Turk is just Komodo-25 with a tweaked playstyle. It is a very strong bot, could probably be a match for Stockfish.
It somehow gets into a position that a normal human player would consider "bad" then proceeds to defend and get back to a winning or drawn position flawlessly through sacrifices and aggressive counterplay. When I paired it against stockfish it played an extremely dry and dull game but slowly got smothered over time. One thing I found surprising was that some of it's moves were so complex that stockfish would begin reevaluating midway throughout the game, which is something that never happened with any of the other bots that I have paired stockfish against, such as the 3200 maximum engine and Magnus bot.
Dang that's interesting. I've never thought of a bot that is bad until it needs to be good, where it then becomes really good.
Note: You may or may not know this, but the 3200 maximum bot is Komodo-25
I knew that it was a Komodo engine but forgot that it was Komodo-25 lol
lol
The Mechanical Turk Was Alot Harder Then The Rating I Think its 1875?
