Actually, I'm not sure about "none". I coach private students, but also groups of kids and adults. From time to time, I need to check my students current level, and I can ask them to take one of the quizzes that I've created on a given topic, but that only gives you an approximate idea bout their current understanding of that particular topic.
But let's get to a practical example: I'd like to see how well they can do the B+N checkmate. I could create a simul for just that group of students where my bot plays against all of them. In a few minutes, I'd be able to get a pretty clear picture of which students can or can't do the checkmate. It would also be fun for them, as we can make a competition such as "let's see who can checkmate the computer is the least number of moves" and so on.
Or sometimes perhaps we're playing tournament but we have an odd number of players.
I think you get the picture. Making a lichess bot account would make a lot of sense in those and many other cases ...
Sure, if the "invite a bot" to a tournament feature , or "let this bot play the simul" were added, there'd be no need for this. But I'm just saying that I don't agree with Thibault's "None!" comment.
