  First things first, results against bots aren't a great indicator of chess strength. A chess bot is an opponent that can play almost perfectly but will make mistakes at random to let you win, so this is not a great model for how "real" chess works. Too many factors like luck, style, time/focus and so on can have an impact on the result.
  
  Either way, the best strategy to beat stronger bots is improving your overall chess skill. This means keeping to work on tactics, calculation, strategy, openings and endgames. But still, for a better assessment of how fast progress is happening, results against real humans are a much better reference.
  
  I'm not sure about the levels of the different Stockfish bots on Lichess, but level 8 is basically unbeatable even for top level humans.
