Ive noticed. Every time i get up to 300 rating. The games will be suspicious. Instant moves from players. Traps. Exact games and moves over and over. 🙄. Replicated games. People at this level arent memorizing every single move. Its sandbags me below back below 300. Did the same at 200 too.

The site does not use bots in the random pools.

The same is happening with me for almost a year now. There are more and more bots in the random pools. But people still think otherwise. I am pretty sure that most of the players I play against are now not humans. The games are not fun anymore, my opponents play almost immediately, not making a mistake though, making machine moves, they don’t have a photo, a lot of them use the indonesian flag, they don’t react on chat when I try to engage in conversation, etc. I used to enjoy playing against other humans mostly because the games are always different. My games are now boring, because machines are very predictable. They can play accurately for a while, but they don’t try to fool you or something, they always go for the statistically strong move and play by the book.

It's amazing how many players there are who would win every game if it wasn't for "the Bots".

I get the opposite; I get players who miss the most obvious things, letting me take their rooks and their queen, putting their pieces in harms way one after the other, how could anyone miss these? It's like a shooting range, I end up murdering the guy. My rating is a dreadful 350, but come on. Can anyone with a rating of @300 actually play that poorly?

I have at times noticed odd trends. For instance I'll play a series of players, and will face the same odd variations. It only seemed to happen occasionally. Given the high number of players I don't see this likely being bots, but at times is odd.

Can you share a game you think was against a bot. Then we can look at it and see what you mean.

Me too! If I don't win, it is clearly because of bots and oppression. Sure, I had a few glases of wine, it was 4am and I blundered my rook. BUT THAT'S NOT THE REASON. It was the bots! They are everywhere. I would be a GM without those bots.

Yes, players at that level will leave pieces hanging all the time.

I have been playing since 2010 on this app. I use to play around 1300/1400 without trying.

Now, trying I at best can play at about 1100 on average

I'm 90% sure they use bots now for non paid users. To make you feel you need to upgrade to diamond 💎 💎 💎 to "get gud"

Bs. But meh, it's free.

Hmmm I my random alts I don't sense any bots (without diamond) except for the occasional cheater I think there are some cheater 500s and some smurfs but over all it isn't chess.coms decision weather or not there are cheaters it's a people choice chess.com can limit it but they can not stop it entirely maybe just get good lol(ps:before ou are saying you are elo gatekept any 2000 could adopt you 99.99 % of the time ) I'm actually higher rated on one of my free alts than on this one

It is amazing how many people think they are hikaru

i think paranoia sometimes slips into chess play -- and i get it i think those thoughts also sometimes --- but do you really think they would waste their time and money on a 300 player when they have some many other players at 1000 -- 1700 and up to mess with--who pay to play here and enter tournaments for money prizes and entre fees etc -- than a 300 player or a 150 player like myself who are at best cannon fodder for the masses of better players who fund this site -- if anything if your premise was right they would make you win more to get you to put more money into this site don't you think ?????

They don't.

I used to have a three hundred rating and I played so fast and it was often a coincidence whether I played well or not. There are no bots

Khnemu_Nehep

You play random moves and you say there are bots...hahaha

every time i create a new account. 90% wins from 400-700. 400-500+ u get idiots either losing to time or hanging pieces (perma elite-champion every game; so coincidental that everyone has no life?). just before u hit 1000, the opponents turn hikaru...

somehow, streamers who have played for 'a few months' can attain over 1.5k? xQc, tyler1, mrbeast... more content for gotham. when i was a paid user, brain dead 1.2k min. you guys and moderators shouldn't have a say in AI tech.

i want my 1 year diamond refunded.

thx for turning me to GO. at least it isn't pay to play and the player pool is so small, opponents are irl.

BigChessplayer665

I mean your expected to win about 85 percent of the time when your opponent is 300 elo lower than you

BigChessplayer665

If your 600 you should loss 90% of the time against 1000 elo so what your saying makes sense

Other than the conspiracy
