I don’t do daily because of the whole consulting database things.

I believe there is more merit in live chess.

Igor smirnov recommends playing against engines and then analysing the game on the strongest setting with no handicaps 

I just beat the 2400 bot again with the same accuracy as last time lol. llama36 said that a 2300 bot is like a 1500(yes I understand that you didn’t mean that low but the 2300 bot is much weaker than people lower rated. It took me like 20 tries to beat the 2300-2400 bot once. If the 2300-2400 is hundreds of points lower than they actually are, I must be much lower rated than I actually am in longer time controls.

Set the engine to 2700 and it’s playmaking will be more solid.

So play the 2700 bot? I think a huge jump in rating like that will do little to help me improve because the 2700 level is something I’m not familiar with whilst playing a 2400 bot still has lost of tactics  I’m  used to.

What are your goals?

1. If you want to improve and increase rating points, play humans at 15/10. Analyze your losses to learn from your mistakes and blunders. Stop bullet play as well while you’re at it.

If you want to improve your tactics rating, do the rated puzzles because you have a membership.

Playing an engine at expert level is dubious because the engine will hang pieces and even fall for pawn forks; unhuman.

If you just want to tighten your lines then set the engine no lower than 2700.

Again, don’t burn so much time on this. It’s the second day and you are still updating us that you beat another bot.

This isn’t groundbreaking stuff.

well I started to play blitz in my other account And im 2000 there, I really  on play bullet here because my main blitz is on my other account. I must say the 2000 bot is much better than the 2400 one. One more question, what was the screenshot you took supposed to show?

Will playing the 2300 chess bot improve my skill?

The keyword improve sticks out to me.

Are you improving?

Look, I simply don’t understand how playing bots 2000 and above won’t help. The 2000 bot destroys me every game whether it’s tactics or having more pawns. I just want to get better, I just simply can’t fathom how to.

An IM chimed in on your thread and said “no”. That’s not suffice for you?

I am going to guess that you are going about’s your training regiment all wrong or wasting time if you do have one?

What time control do you want to be good at?

There is a plan and map to these kinds of goals. It’s nothing new under the sun.

I finally beat the 2000 bot and almost beat it agin but drew because of time. My goal is to become around 2400 3+0

Engines don't play like a human, and so they're bad practice in many different ways... this topic gets asked a lot, and I don't feel like repeating the long list of ways they're not good.

The only time I think playing an engine is useful is when a player is very sloppy in their calculation, but they don't care, because their low rated opponents hardly ever punish them. By playing a strong engine (not the weak 2000 level, but an actual engine), your dumb tactical mistakes are punished 100% of the time, and that can help motivate some players to form some calculation habits.

I don’t know if I’m improving because before I took a break, I had only played blitz mainly for 2 months and went from 1800 to 2000 on my other account.

Oh yeah I’m obviously not going to just stick to playing bots, I’m mainly going ti play humans but I just wanted to know if playing bots could help me practice when I’m not playing humans.

If you were to put a training regiment together, what would it consist of by priority?

I have no idea other than playing puzzles, analyzing games, and playing high level bots.

I just think that playing more speed chess and bots is not the way to improving.

If you just want to have fun and experiment, that’s a different story.

So playing long games is the best way to improve? I may start playing 5 and 10 minute games.

I was told by a coach 15/10 is the best balance for improvement on this site because the time increments will help you in the time scrambles for a draw or put away a win. Plus 15/10 is FIDEs official rapid time control if you want an accurate measuring stick.

Here 10/0 is the most popular rapid time control but under FIDE and many worldwide federations, it’s blitz. If you can win at this rate, all the power to you.

My point is, slowing chess down does lead to improvement provided that you are utilizing that time as a resource.

Myself as an example, should I play tons of bullet if I want to improve in classical OTB?

Yeah I used to play bullet seriously but now I just play it for fun, my main focus is blitz now and rapid in the future.
