cheating bots

note: this text was written as if i was it was directly sent to the lichess team

whenever i play against the bots they occasionally make a piece appear out of thin air, causing a loss for me due to being surrounded by pieces that never existed. a possible fix would be to limit what the bot could do. if you guys are using some sort of ai thing that could do anything, you might want to enforce its actions a bit more via actual movement limitations similar to those put on players rather than telling it an illegal move is bad, because it will risk punishment for more reward. kinda like telling a 6 year old how to move a knight, and they still move it too far.

Pieces out of nowhere are part of the game.
