Make a BOT play a LOT

Hello there,
I just created a new Bot on Lichess (for the moment he just plays randomly ahah).
The goal was to see if it was possible to estimate a computer's Elo by making him play against dozens of people.

However he seems to play only when challenged. And since I'm the only one who challenge him, he doesn't play at all.

Is there a way to make him play without interruption against human or other bots for a few days ?

Thanks and good day to you.

Another question by the way : is it possible to change a Bot's strategy once his account is created ?

You can challenge other bots. But there's no way to "force" playing against humans. If it's just making random moves, I'm not sure anybody would want to play against it anyway though. And you probably also won't get an accurate rating from that by playing against most bots since they will all be much higher rated. Moving randomly is generally the worst strategy there is. If you're curious what rating such a bot would get, check @RandomMoverBot. And remember that 600 is the lowest possible rating on Lichess.

Yes. It's not like Lichess can do anything against that? You're controlling the bot after all so you have complete control over what it does, when it changes strategy, etc. Though I guess you should be a bit careful with changing strategies too often since it can lead to rating manipulation.

Note that Lichess players must try to win every rated game. That also applies to bots. Therefore a random mover bot, which is not trying to win, must only play casual games.

@randommoverbot isn't accepting casual challenges. Do you know any other random mover bot which accepts challenges?

Just send a rated challenge,it will not loose any rating points becuz its banned
