    To me, it sounds like they did a good job making the bot. They say repeatedly during the show that Beth hates "boring" chess and tends towards a hyper aggressive, sensational, out of the norm style. No bot can be perfect representation of a person, however it seems like they tried to code in as much "personality" as possible.

      If you watch her play Anna Rudolf, you can also get a really good sense of her style. You feel like Anna’s winning the whole game through but that’s also how it’s described in the show where Beth’s opponents usually say something like, “I felt like I was winning up until the second I wasn’t and only after saw how I was playing into everything she wanted.”

      the reason Hikaru saccs the bishop is because if the King takes it, then he would be too slow to stop the promotion.
      of course, Hikaru didn't need to sacc the bishop but otherwise it would've involved a bunch more moves and plus, bishops dont really help checkmate when the board is more open. if anything the bishop would've been a liability for accidentally causing a stalemate
