If there could be separate leagues for bots, I think that would be cool. I mean, it is impressive to me that people can write bots to play the game that well. But it's not fair to humans that want a chance at competing. Let the people who are really good at writing the code for bots compete to outsmart each other. Let humans who want to play other humans have a space to do that, though.
There are chess masters who will play and can beat computers, but most people who want to casually play would not be interested in playing a computer.
The new focuses will help with some of the Bronze bots, I think, but not the higher league bots.
What's good to see is pretty frequent changes in attempts to curb the botting a little bit. It does kind of feel like throwing a new band-aid on a gaping wound sometimes, though.

Actually, not anymore. Computers are too strong in chess nowadays.
