Upcoming changes to the Play page and general time settings

Ok after a bit of search to play a

CUSTOMIZED GAME with a BOT:

Don’t search in custom games. You won’t find it.
Go to quick games although what may look strange.
Select the bot you want to play.
Don’t click play.
Instead click the little box with an arrow on the right

Here you reach the profile of the bot. You’re half way! The next steps are easier to guess for experienced OGS users

Click on its name
A popup appear
Chose challenge

You got it! Specify your settings (unranked, komi, handicap etc…)
And play.

So much easier as before (I am a bit humoristic).

The quick match for what I understood from previous discussions was the idea to implement a procedure to get a game quickly including the fact that the software will chose an opponent for you (called automatch). When you chose computer, this feature is not included.

So what’s the point to not use the options selection tab with some default settings like before? Imho it would be hard to implement a more complex procedure to get a game with a bot as you want it to be (let’s figure a new OGS user…)
