Playing better vs. a bot

Doesn't make much difference but I play a little better vs. a bot than a human by something like 3.0 to 3.5 or so. Two reasons for the difference: One, XG plays better than I do so it reaches the better position more often and leaves me with the weaker position. Underdog positions are, IMO, generally easier to play well. The situation's usually reversed against a human since I'm usually favored so I get stuck with making the more difficult decisions.

Second is the opponent factor. Maybe you double later or pass sooner in simple positions vs. weaker players or wait until the position's almost too good before doubling someone who you know will take almost anything.
