When you play the bots on [chess.com](http://chess.com) can you get the colored assistance mode - where you touch a piece and it shows you the best moves in different colors? If so, how do you enable that? ---

Bots on [chess.com](http://chess.com) equals online play and then u can’t get colored assistance. ---

Yeah currently we do not have this feature. It is unclear what is allowed by [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) when using their bots. In the future I do expect us to offer some form of assistance vs their bots. We just have to understand the limits of what is allowed. ---

I am trying to figure out a way to use the chessup computer to use its internal brain when I play a game vs a bot. Sometimes, I am not sure of my next move…how can I “force move” on Chrssup, so its engine plays the next game against an online bot…?? thanks ---

You can set assistance level to 6 to see the engine best move in green, and this setting can be changed through the match. This mode is not available on all platforms though - as assistance is not allowed on some online platforms.
