that game was the first time i ever beat a 1000 rated bot. Yes, i'm also a beginner. But I quick;y found out how to easily beat these beginner bots.

1. Be a destructive force of nature

for the game above, it was rather full on attacking and that made it easier to beat other bots. You have to keep your important pieces and ruthlessly attack them piece by piece to get the win.

2. Be careful

be careful not to lose your important pieces

3. Promotion

always find a way to promote your pawns to better pieces. For example you could clear space for the pawns by eating everything in its way, killing one by one, etc.

That's how I destroyed the beginner bots. Any other tips? let me know pls

for number 2 I'd sacrifice as many important pieces just to get the opponent king in a tight spot and EZ for checkmate

thats also useful but in my opinion its better to sacrifice those you don't use that much and prize your supposed endgame pieces

My adice is to check the game (with an engine or without). There are several moves made by you that are obviously blunders even at the beginner level (like move 7, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 23, etc etc.)
