How to play Bot against Stockfish without getting banned

Hello,

I wanted to try how the bot Boris Trapsky would play against Stockfish. So, for those who don't know, it's a bot that plays not the top moves but those that would trick human players into blundering. I wanted to try how it would play against stockfish (so obviously it will lose, but I was curious to see such game), but lichess detects that I am using an engine. It doesn't affect neither's ratings, so it shouldn't be cheating, as it would against a human. I wanted to use more as an academic tool to analyze such games. So how could I do such game so that I don't get banned or the game getting automatically cancelled?

In case it is a big offense, I apologize in advance. I am fully aware these games do NOT alter the ratings, so I don't think it should be 'cheating'. I am just doing it solely for the sake of seeing and analyzing an interesting game.

Thank you.
You can create a bot account with the purple mark "bot" but you need to open a new account
easiest way assuming you have computer is to make stockfish play against itself. should not be hard with most chess GUI programs. no need to do it online
