Have drawn 4 times so far...with 2 draws that I should have won....yes I find the comments/insults annoying (although there are not many insults when you are giving it a hard time). Only a matter of time till I win a game. Will try playing black to take advantage of the openings as you suggest.
I finally beat the obnoxious Ben Finegold bot

Nice ending on your part...the middle game was not very well played by the bot....some seriously poor moves there imho.
@Phenix11 Thank you. Which moves do you think were seriously poor? If you play White and open with the queen's pawn it's likely to play the Baltic Defence which will improve your winning chances. Share your game here when you beat it!
Finally delivered justice to those who got trash talked by the Ben Finegold Bot. Mission Accomplished. 💛 If you play as black, it has a high chance of attempting the scholar's mate if it plays e4 (king's pawn opening) I used this to my advantage. It has a chance to blunder when you defend against the checkmate threat (pawn g4, a huge blunder), if it doesn't blunder, just retry over and over again until you get lucky, and then proceed to beat the bot. (You can be up a queen in the endgame with this strategy). This makes beating the bot much more manageable. I knew i would end up beating this bot. I beat Hollow Knight Pantheon 5 all bindings, so this was nothing compared to that. The bot says: "Who knows, you could win by accident, that's your only hope". The bot failed to stop me from beating it. Trying is the first step to success. Don't let the bot say otherwise. Anyways, i'm enjoying chess. I'm playing it while waiting for Silksong to come out (which will be awesome and worth the wait). Here is my match against the bot: https://www.chess.com/game/computer/181637333
Chess.com... I remember you're Ben Finegold Bots =)
After many attempts (and putting up with the Finegold bot insults), I finally beat it in an instructive endgame. The bot favours unusual openings like the Baltic Defence and Chigorin, so I used this to my advantage.
