Is it ok to let someone use your account

#14 The terms of service say: "Cheating: We define this as using any external assistance to strengthen your knowledge and, or, calculation ability to gain an unfair advantage over your opponent."

I admit, this is not as clear as it could be. With respect to hand and brain, you are using any external assistance, but probably not to strengthen your knowledge or gain an unfair advantage. So maybe, it is not clearly cheating.

That's always the problem when rules are trying to forbid motivations instead of actions.
I don't know Lichess' opinions on Hand and Brain, but I will say that HaB definitely doesn't enhance your abilities. I played HaB with another 1800-ish player recently and we were losing to 1400's in the 5+3 pool.
