How Wayne plays
Wayne sits at the same listed strength as Martin and is known for giving his queen away early. Losses to Wayne come from the same source as losses to Martin — a single unchecked capture after a long winning stretch — plus one more: taking his queen and then relaxing.
The plan
Take the queen when he offers it, then keep playing as carefully as before. A review will show the exact move where your accuracy dropped after the material swing.
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. Chess.com's Game Review is limited for free members, so this is also the way to review every bot game rather than one a day.
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 Wayne was threatening there. That is the pattern to fix; the final blunder is just where it showed up.
