I have always liked Golem.

It is easily beatable even on fast hardware, and yet it does not have evil
habits like crashing and illegal moves.

It plays a goofy move from time to time, just like a human, but a legal move.

One of my favorite opponents, when I am tired of getting battered by all of the
strong engines and I need some CPU revenge.
