Play custom position against bot?

Sort:

Hey,

Sorry if this is answered, I couldn't find it in the forums. I have seen YT vids of people playing custom positions against bots, like playing Martin with only one pawn. But I don't know how to do that. If I want a custom board setup against a bot, how is that configured?

Go to Learn > Analysis to set up the required position, then practice vs computer. Once done there is a change the bot button/option.

You have to go to the Analysis and set up a custom position, and then it gives the option to play against any bot, or the engine level bot.

Anyone having an issue with this now ? Playing a custom position v a bot has been working for me for months but this week the option to choose a bot is not working. (Tried multiple browsers and devices )

This does not seem to be fully fixed... I can't select the Engine and change strength from 250 > it just reverts to first bot (have tried multiple browsers / devices). Any ideas? Thanks
