It's always best to complete the Dojo sparring requirements by playing against a fellow Dojo member from your cohort. They will be at your level, make very human mistakes, and will often review the session with you afterward. But sometimes finding an opponent who is available isn't easy. Fortunately, bot technology has advanced, and we now have very human-like bots who serve as good substitutes for human opponents. They are especially good for playing out the endgame algorithms and Rook Endgame Progression. For these can be dreary for our human friends! Below is a list of bots who are appropriate for your cohort. The Chess.com bots are at the moment better than the Lichess ones as they are far more dialed in terms of playing strength. The downside of them however is that you have to be a Chess.com diamond member.
