Trophy Bots
Trophy bots are the opponents you cannot simply pick from a list. Each one is earned — through a play streak, a pile of rated games, or by winning a club challenge — and each plays with a quirk that makes it behave unlike any other bot on Chessiverse. They are also adaptive: rather than sitting at a fixed rating, a trophy bot always meets you at roughly your own level.
