I'm buying a new computer. One of my hobbies in the past on some other chess place was to "pit" my computer against other players comp and human alike. This would give me an Idea of how well my computer was doing vs. other machines (as well as human players). I also like to tweak the computers opening moves. The other place allowed computers to play as long as you announced to everyone that your account was indeed a computer account.  I find that when I pay that other place for a chess membership that I end up also playing as a human and I don't want to leave this (all too) human account.

You can play unrated engine games here, as long as both players agree.

Try this group to find opponents:

I'd be willing to play 2 games against you, one opening of my choice, and one of yours :)

You can play centaur chess on this site but all games must be unrated.

Further advice and competition can be found here:
