(not sure if it works if you don't have an account).

Personally I'm really annoyed by many of these bots, because they do
not resign and play all possible forcing moves so
the games can be really long which is an issue on turn based servers.

Moreover they enter tournaments, so if you want to play in them you
have to play with these bots.
