I don't quite understand the purpose of this page.
* First, I don't get why some bots have green indicators and some have white indicator, even though both are online.
* For some reason, the table shows only 3 ratings for standard chess and no information about ratings in variants.
* And I don't see any value in having the "Time on TV" field. Does this information have any value? Maybe I just don't know?
I'm trying to understand the typical scenarios for using this page.
1. For example, as a player, I want to find a bot with a rating close to 2300 that can play casual Antichess 30+0.
2. I want to find a bot with an unusual style of playing and a Blitz rating of 2000 to play a rated 3+2 game against it.
3. I want my bot to play a rated 1/4+0 game against the currently strongest bot in Racing Kings.
At the moment this page is not convenient for any of these scenarios.
* I can't see the ratings for variants.
* I can't see what variants and what time controls the bots accept.
* I like that the bots are sorted by "Time Spent Playing". If you play a lot against a bot, it might indicate that there's something interesting, and I'd like to try it too. But unfortunately some bots get a high score because they use long time controls against other bots. So this parameter becomes less informative for human players, the number of which is much more than the number of bots.
I think that some changes could significantly improve the usability of this page:
- Show a full set of ratings, or only the ratings for those variants that the bots accept.
- Make it possible to filter bots by variant and time control.
- Sort the bots by the following parameter: S = min(w1 * s1, w2 * s2), where w1 and w2 are weight coefficients, s1 notes Time Spent Playing Against Humans, s2 is the number of games played against humans.
What are your thoughts on this? Maybe I did not take into account some other typical scenarios?
