KGS Bots

On KGS, a number of bots are active, some of them ranking well up in the dan strength. You can play free or ranked games against them. They are ideal to play against if you want to get a rank quickly, since they are usually not as picky as human opponents. On the other hand, it can be tempting to only play robot opponents.
