I think its will be good if there is a BOT'S in lidraughts like as lichess.
this is just my feature request, thanks.

Actually BOTs are available already, they are just hidden from sight, and have never been tested. But in principle you could follow the same procedures as on lichess, although you will need to write an adapted client.

Someone followed the first steps and registered a BOT account, but didn't make a working client as far as I know: lidraughts.org/@/ChessTacticBot?mod

They also made a team, maybe you can cooperate: lidraughts.org/team/lidraughts-bots

Dameo is one of the best checkers variants in my opinion. I would love to see it added to the options to play on lidraughts!

@jfs4 Dameo is artificial variant of draughts, and because of specific move which allows to jump over own checkers, it must be classified as a crossover between draughts and halma like Camelot, Suffragetto, Ossetian Keny.
Of course, orthogonal draughts variants should be supported, but I believe that Turkish, Armenian, Greek, Bahrain, Gothic draughts deserve to be prioritized higher than Dameo. Besides, if you believe that Turkish and above mentioned variants can't eliminate draws better than Dameo, then I have to say that there is a specific rule which may allow to eliminate "1 checker vs 1 king" draw: namely, that a checker can't make two horizontal moves between same squares immediately. This rule is not a novelty; it is how draws by repetition are eliminated in Altai Shatra (crossover between draughts and chess). As well, in one of Ossetian Keny subvariants there is a very good rule which brings more dynamics into game: if players do not make exchanges or sacrifices in 10 moves, a game must be adjudicated as a draw.
