Same issue. Back to the game after many years and have been playing intermediate bots and can no longer come very close to winning. I thought I had hit a wall, or was just getting worse. Even 600 Jimmy is very strong now!
Chess bots on app playing way above their reported level.

Sooo...

Not a bug but a legal move called en passant: https://support.chess.com/article/683-what-is-en-passant

Newest version of the app has the fix. My understanding is that it was being made available to everyone.
6 days and no change. t
6 days and no fix. the bots are playing 1800+ .Ruins the app
I was literally losing my mind. Glad I finally looked it up. I wonder what Elo these bots are truly at.
I'm guessing they're working on fixing this?
It's funny, because this seems to have cropped up at the same time I decided to use the bots to practice the Danish gambit. I found that 1200 rated Elena will often allow the gambit, so I was repeatedly playing her for practice, but my record was like 1 win, 2 draws, and a ton of losses. Usually 1200 wouldn't be too tough for me, and I regularly beat higher rated bots. But I just kept thinking "wow, I am terrible at the Danish gambit." Tried it on the desktop browser and won 3 in a row lol.

Good news! Thanks, Martin.
Hi, i have the same problem.
For example i'm just trying now to doublecheck again and yes it is still broken on my andoid (i have a Galaxy A50).
I just played like 10 times MARTIN (250) and i lost every game except the last where i playied anti-engine-like and i managed to draw it... now i don't think this is how the bot is supposed to be at 250 because i'm 1200 blitz and 1400 bullet (just for reference) so i should be able to beat the first bot i guess XD
Is there anyway fo fix this?

Go to the Play Store and check for Updates. The newest version should be available today.
When I look at the Play Store, the lastest update is Feb 26.

It's been fixed. The beta has been on Play for a few days now and the live should be pushed shortly.
