Is it cheating to use a bot to win on a non-rated game?
Sort:
If I wanted to confuse a friend or throw them off or something by using a bot to find the best move at that point would I get banned for that? Or does it even matter in a non-rated game.
you are allowed to use an engine in a unrated game, but only if your opponent knows and has agreed. otherwise, it is still considered cheating.
Fair enough.
I played vs cheater or bug in game. I have video proof and reported player

Unrated Games, and Unrated Tactics
Unrated tactics and unrated games where both parties are aware that assistance is being used are the only exceptions to the above rules. Since these games and tactics are not rated, and do not affect the rating of any other players on the site, you are free to experiment with whatever tools, and learn however you choose!
However, as mentioned above, if you are going to use assistance against another person, you MUST let them know beforehand!
