How Aron plays
Aron sits at the top of the beginner range, where the bot stops hanging pieces every few moves and starts punishing the ones you hang. Reviews of losses to Aron usually show a game that was level for twenty moves and then lost in one, which is the point in the beginner ladder where the mistakes get rarer but more expensive.
The plan
Slow down on quiet moves. The blunder that loses to Aron almost never comes in a sharp position; it comes when nothing is happening and you stop checking what his last move attacked.
Review the game you just lost
Bot games on Chess.com have their own address once they are finished: chess.com/game/computer/…. Type rv in front of it, rvchess.com/game/computer/…, and the full review builds itself: accuracy for both sides, every move labelled, and a graph you can click to jump to the moment the game turned. It is free, needs no account, and does not count against Chess.com's daily Game Review.
If you cannot find the address, paste the game's PGN instead. A free Chess.com account caps Game Review at one a day, and bot games count against it. Here every saved bot game can be reviewed in full, as many as you play.
Which move to look at
Against a beginner bot the useful move is rarely the last one. Open the review, find the first place the graph tips against you, and ask what Aron was threatening there. That is the pattern to fix; the final blunder is just where it showed up.
