About Lichess BotsMore chess engines created by the Lichess community. They are hosted by their creators, and as such might not always be online.
Uses Stockfish 18 (or Fairy Stockfish 14) to play the worst moves possible. Blitz and Rapid, Casual Only. (No rated games, no more than 15s increment). The challenge is trying to lose to me. :) Evaluates for 0.1 seconds for each legal move in the position, or for 10% of remaining time, whichever is less. Bot by @VisibleReality.
