Scholars mate on low level bots?

Sort:

Are the low level bots on this site (sub 1000) coded so that they don't fall for scholars mate?

I swear I tried like 100 times and it's only worked one time. I feel like it should be working more often than that.

Pretty sure the boys are coded against low level, low effort stuff like that. Why are you trying to scholars mate a bot anyway? If you need that ego stroke to make you feel alive then challenge me to a rapid and I’ll give you that dopamine hit. Then you can get on to actually trying to play chess

Because I'm brand new and it's the only mate I know. I usually just play the Scotch Game and sometimes I try the scholars mate to see if I can beat the bots fast. I learned the rules of chess in 2020 (played only 3 games here at that time) and just started playing again as of the last 20 days.

I have only played bots so far and no real humans. I was gonna work my way up the bots to see how far I can get and then play humans. So far I have almost all the bots 1500 and below complete that don't require premium. I will likely get premium soon though.

It's probably weird but I feel guilty making people wait for me to move because I'm so new which is why I been playing bots. I appreciate the offer though.

Hopefully soon I will gain enough confidence to play a real person.
