No, the bot just blundered. I've played against 2k rated bots where they sometimes hang a queen in the opening. It's weird.

[@VanessosIliop.05]

​@@NexenTrizno I played this bot many times. Every time he plays a sacrifice like move which is a blunder according to Stockfish because this is kinda how Tal played.

[@JjJj-kv7wu]

They code the bots to blunder once in a while, its random so if you are lucky hes gonna blunder mate in the beggining. Not a bug, just a result of lazy programming

[@EnigmaChess]

Bot missed greek gift? I think he had his computer running too hard

[@EnriqueNuesch]

I think these bots just blunder sometimes. I (890 rapid) draw capablanca by repetition of checks with both my rooks on the 7th rank. Game analysis showed after I was +3.0ish and winning. From my second game on, I was absolutely destroyed, and couldn't get close to an advantage like I had in the 1st game.

[@scott-tiger]

9:20 missed fork

[@ravenin9612]

he obviously saw that but in that position he was into the attack and by doing that fork and trading, the material would be equal and it will ruin the advantage

[@Lionhearted626]

So skilled! It’s interesting to see such a skilled grandmaster play a bot and how it effects the feel of the game. And impressive how easy it seems for Hikaru.

[@denominator208]

Yes, you played "Mikhail Tal", or a bot set to about his estimated strength - how exciting. What would be amazing was if the bot really (almost?) played like Tal; it would be programmed to play similar openings and would try to match his fiery style (based on all of his games).

The higher rated bots are a brick wall to me, but I've beaten 1800 rated bots and I have never really played rated chess. If you're 2.2k+ online, I could see getting a low performing game for the bot. 1800 bots sometimes perform below a 1200 level in the analysis, but I assumed the Magnus bot would play much more like stockfish than Magnus, and you're not beating stockfish. You also might just be lying, or you might have had some assistance. Who knows!
