good i like vote bot
@thibault Can I create a bot account and then play manually with some computer assistance from time to time.
Yes, a bot account can be used as a legal way to "cheat".
Just rename Lichess to Botswana.
I think #11 answers my question #33, but what if a bot has very little or no randomness? You could still abuse a winning line against some bots? Again, is that sandbagging in any form?
It would be good if there was some auto-generated page listing "all bots online now", to make it easier for humans to find one, if they want to play one.
You could check the bot team page. Or maybe someone will make a "online bots" list here: lichess.org/player
As many have stated, I also think playing bots in a rated game is a net negative for what we are trying to accomplish here.
Joining to voice of those who dont like rated games for bots. What if the bot is higher rated, but lets say it is exploitable with one certain way of playing? Easy for someone to rack up points quickly if he figures him out.
Any idea if an existing account can be converted to a bot account? What are the arguments against this?
For obvious reasons, the conversion should be one-way only.
