Also, "duckbreath", "eggsalad" and "bot" will allow anyone, even guests to play

Or, if the above are a little stronger opposition than you would care to tackle
you could try playing "wimp" or "bozo" both of whom will play anyone and are
weak enough that even a "b" or "c" player stands a fair chance of beating them.
