Chess rating help

Hello, I am an online-only chess player, I am rated 500-700 in chess and 1200 in puzzles. I have beaten all of the bots up until Wally (1800), I am wondering if I am truly rated 1200-1800 or if the bots are just easy to beat. Any information or advice helps.

the bots rating is inflated alot, same with puzzles.

Maybe you are not used to play with time. Also people play really crazy and you can get tricked easily. Keep working, and be confident, the 1800 bot is not that easy, it is like a 1300 player.

Lol, I could even beat up to 2200 if I just play very serious. Chess.com bot ratings seems like it's their li***** rating xD

Try playing humans only. In particular, play daily chess and take more time choosing your moves. Follow this by studying a couple of books, like Irving Chernev's Logical Chess: Move by Move and Silman's Endgame Course. You'll actually learn how to play the game, not just rush out moves. A month or two of study will improve your game immensely.

Good luck.

Thank you all for the information I will look into more reading and playing longer games.
