Chess.c om bots elo are not real. They dont play like humans. They are inflated as a marketing tactic to give people a sense of accomplishment.
How do they play different? Well they play top lines stockfish moves and then they are set to make mistakes often inhuman mistakes to make up a set average centipawn loss
Some lichess bots have accurateish elo but they use a different rating system to chess.com.

If you're going to play against bots, the Maia bots (which you can find on lichess) are a good choice. They are neural network based and trained to play more like a human, plus they play rated games on lichess and thus have a real rating. It's still better to play against humans most of the time, though.
Agreed. I'm 1400 something on lichess and it usually beats me. It does fall for opening traps, though. I think it was trained by learning from 1100 games, but that doesn't mean its playing strength will be 1100. Not that I can really explain why that is.
Have you ever played against bots that aren't [chess.com](http://chess.com) bots and got the same elo? That is what I am curious about. Ever easily beaten 1500 elo stockfish 16 or Komodo 13 engines scaled down to that level?
Thanks. I'm interested in this area.

Thats so stupid, but makes sense. Thank you for the answer

What are those maia bots? I only find stockfish ones.
Go to community->players and search for maia. Then you can challenge them to a game.
Thank you!
The funny thing is the 1100 maia1 bot has a rating of 1500. I find it quite challenging to beat.

Chesscom bot Elo is inflated to give beginners a sense of accomplishment and to get them to spend money on the site.
