The bot ratings are estimates. It's actually kind of hard to make a bot play worse than it's designed to play. Also, all the bots are based on Komodo.

If your comment about Stockfish 11 is about analysis, use Chrome or a Chromium based browser and it will have 15 as an option. It will come to other browsers at some point.
@martin_stahl are you high? estimates? it took the most powerful engine on the planet 55 moves to take that thing down, and you want to call 2050 an estimate? And that's with NNUE. With it off, Maya actually won.
WTF are you smoking man? I need some of that.
There are numerous settings that can be tweaked with Komodo. It's possible that the attempts to tweak those settings for that bot made it a lot stronger than the estimated rating.
That said, if that bot truly wins against Stockfish 15, then I find it really surprising, unless it wasn't full strength or was playing with very fast move speeds.
The Komodo engine is good, but unless the site has updated the code a lot, even at full strength, Stockfish would win or draw more often. I won't say there haven't been updates, since I don't know for sure, but certainly haven't heard anything like that.
@chesscom the silence is quite deafening
I don't think you are going to get a reply.
Though I did find out that Maya being a prodigy is likely part of the difference. Maybe Mittens is coaching her 🤔
@martin_Stahl you are not telling me anything new.
Also, stick to your day job. Comedian ain't it.
I had asked staff about it and based on one if the games in the topic they don't think that Stockfish was responsible for all the moves.
However, the prodigy part of the bot personality is pertinent and playing strongly is expected
The fact that nobody from chessCom is getting back to me besides a troll, says everything that needs to be known.
If actual staff is too busy to deal with these issues (?), you can keep your humor for someone else.
Staff rarely answers forum posts. It happens occasionally, but not normally.
