Are you allowed to use an engine against the lichess computer?

I just downloaded stockfish 11 and would like to play against the lichess computer with piece odds. Just curious if this is allowed or not.

Probably not. If you play with your rating, this one will be better thanks to your victory.
But mods will have THE answer.

@MrAverage no it's not unless you play UNRATED

@joubertpaul @Sydris I mean playing an unrated game against the computer.

But why would you do that?

Try this: @MrAverage
https://lichess.org/analysis
Play ... the proposed move or goto the menu and select Multiple lines.
You can then press one of the 5 chess lines for a move or move the piece you want.
Want to play a different color, press the F key.
Enjoy.

Just don't start jumping from one browser / tabs and go from a real game against a human and going back to the tab to see the move. You know what will happen... nothing good.
Play with one webpage and even go full screen (F11 function Key) if you feel better doing that.
Even go Zen mode (press the keyboard letter Z while playing a real game).
