Chess 960 against bots

I think the hardest chess is playing against bots. I can beat consistently 1700 bot on chess.com in the standard position but I will lose consistently from 1600 chess bot in freestyle chess or I will have a very hard time checkmating it. I mean I almost show everything I know about chess to crush it. I never tried to beat 2000 rated chess bot. Because it's like playing with a grandmaster. You should be able to keep the game completely equal for 40 or 30 move. In chess 960, when the bot is not in a time pressure, it's a hard thing to ask for. What is your opinion? Have you ever tried to play against bots in freestyle with unlimited time?

Yes, I played. It's very difficult. I mean bots with a rating of 2000

Yes, Chess960 is much harder for humans vs bots, because of the lack of familiarity/ opening theory or even just opening patterns.

You can try @Demolito_L1 all the way up to @Demolito_L6 here on lichess. From advanced beginner to CM level I would guess (ignore lichess bot ratings in 960, they are much stronger than advertised).

Chess960 is VERY HARD! I played a few games in Lichess and Chess.com and lose very badly.

So far I've played 960 three times against Stockfish (3 and two 4), each game a draw. Lost one 960 game in a timed rated game against Demolito 1. That bot has a lower 960 rating than in the regular setup. A previous comment is correct about Demo being tougher than its rating: in the 900s but seems smarter than bots in regular games rated 1200+.

My previous experience 960 against machines was an old computer program that allows setting up positions. I rolled dice to determine the starting positions. The computer was as good as with the standard beginning. He knew any immediate vulnerability and opportunity (pawn not protected).

I would think any bot with a dictionary of best opening moves and countermoves for the regular setup would be easier in 960 because the bot has to be spontaneous instead of using their list of opening best moves.
