Computer unranked still possible?

Support

Hi.

Since the new UI on the play page, I feel like we can’t play the computers in unranked games. I personally really don’t want to affect my kyu facing bots, but I like to practice vs bots for a number of reason at multiple time’s.

Before, you could just click on “computer” and select all your game settings if i remember properly. Now the computer strenght is on the quick game tab and it create’s a rank game automatically.

Is unranked versus computer removed for now? If that’s the case i’ll probably practice my computer games on another site or app like Badukpop.

Thank you.

Thats exactly what i am missing, too. i used to play “teaching games” against bots where i tried different strategies, afterwards analyzing with KataGo. The games should not be ranked because they are intended to be resigned halfway anyway.

Would be a pity to loose this option.

Many thanks for the great work anyway.

seems that having no more unranked games with bots is a big miss

@anoek It sounds like an oversight?

It is, temporary work around is to challenge the bot directly. That interface hasn’t changed and will allow you to play unranked games still.

Oh okay thank you. How would I go about challenging the bot directly. I go on it’s “profile” page?

Thank you for your work.

Click on the bot’s nickname, then “challenge”.

Ok I found how to challenge the bot. However, the bot is not playing any moves. It was doing the same thing yesterday in the ranked game so it is not a normal game matter. The bot is the bouvardia
