Weird Matchmaking, Hacking, AI Training or BOTS?

Why is everyone playing 1. e4 h5!?

I know some people play moves like 1. ...h5 just for fun or to make things weird, I played someone who played h5 on his first move, it was a short game, for some reason I checked his profile and what a surprise it was.

I don't know if there's a way to control the matchmaking algorithm to let you play against people who usually play an exact same opening, I don't know if there are clubs for people to practice an exact same opening or if I played some kind of bot because when I went to his profile and checked a few of his games I felt something was odd

Every time, and I mean every game he opened with 1. e4 his opponents replied with h5.
Here are some examples:


And the list goes on and on, so I ask again, are these bots? can we control the matchmaking algorithm? is It some kind of AI training? also the way he plays doesn't look human.

I'm new at posting in the forums and I don't know if I can post his profile, if It's not against the rules I'll gladly post it here

Your opponent "busong" was black in all the games you posted and he replied h5 in every case to his opponent's e4.

If you look at the Game Explorer, it is his favorite response to e4.

I guess it is but I haven't seen it before.

The recommended fix for unexplained glitches is to clear your browser cache.
