Filter Human/Computer not working as expected #14022

Closed lucasart closed 10 months ago

lucasart commented 10 months ago

Using search filter with Opponent (?) set to Computer will not pick up games against Bot accounts, which are considered as Human.

This is technically not a bug, because lichess implements BOT accounts like humans with a BOT title (just like GM, IM, etc).

But that is an implementation detail, which should not be exposed to users. When searching for Opponent of type Computer, I expect to find games against BOT accounts.

Example here: my games against bots are not matched by the search

BOT doesn't mean it's a computer. It's also used for Centaur games and any kind of play using some sort of assistance.

lucasart commented 10 months ago

Ok. I didn't realise one could use a BOT account for hybrid play (human+computer assistant).

But then shouldn't there be a way to filter opponents of type BOT?
