So I feel like there should be a separate category for those who don't have premium and just have to do all the free bots.
This was considered by the mod team, but there are some free bots that are 2000+ and quite difficult to beat, so we never fully implemented this. Do you have a suggestion on which specific bots to beat?
Here's the suggestion I posted in the discord, lmk what you think:
START MSG Since most of the bots speedruns require a premium membership, I was thinking about adding a speedrun for just the free bots.
For the "Easy Free Bots" category, you have to beat 5 bots:
Jimmy (Adaptive, elo 600) Martin (Beginner, elo 250) Elani (Beginner, elo 400) Aron (Beginner, elo 700) Engine Level 5 (elo 850)
For the "Intermediate Free Bots" category, you have to beat 15 bots:
Emir, Sven, Nelson (1000 - 1300 elo) 11 Streamer bots (first 2 rows + Fundy, elos 600 - 1500) Engine Level 11 (elo 1500)
If there's enough interest we can discuss advanced free bots but I this we should focus on these 2 categories for now END MSG
By request, the mods have added 2 categories of computer bot speedruns that don't require a chess.com premium membership. We hope this addition allows more runners to participate in the bot speedruns. Make sure you check the rules for this category to ensure you are playing against the right bots. T
