Apologies if this has been answered before, but can you play the bots on chess.com yet? I saw a comment that it would be a feature but no date on when it would be implemented.
Hi PapaBear,
Thanks for asking. This is a feature we are currently working on. We hope to have a release with this functionality in December.
Ooohhh, that’s really good and exciting news!
With the latest Android update, I successfully played against bots on Chess dotcom. Definitely a wonderful gift for XMas break ! Kudos to Bryght Labs team !
My good wishes for the future.
Yeah it is released. I meant to make a video - but holidays get so crazy around here.
We had a record breaking day for users online on Christmas. You guys maybe noticed our server crashed
I played 8 games with bots on chess.com. From the white and black side.
All games where good with move registration.
Only one time I had to restart app and board.
With continious playing bots in the chess.com section the lights sometimes didn’t blink at gamestart but the moves registrated and I was able to play the game.
I was able to review the game played and continue with a new game.
Thx for including this function, I love to play with bots.
This feature is great! Thanks for getting it going. Really enjoying playing the bots on chess.com and it works really well.
I haven’t been able to so far. For iOS the app doesn’t successfully interface. I can “start” a game against someone, but it registers no moves so the game aborts on chess com.
For the bots, I can’t get past the bot selection screen.
Strangely, the app screen is cutoff on the left and right side on my phone, so perhaps I’m missing an important button.
What phone model is it?
It is an iPhone 7 with the latest os.
I’ve not been able to play with the bots on chess.com with my iphone 13 also. I am able to start a game and when I make the first move the app can register it, but when the bot makes a move, the board doesn’t light up with the corresponding squares.
Thanks for reporting. This is an open issue with a few people - we are still working on the bots functionality.
would i be able to play with the Fisher chess variant for the chess bots also?
Sorry - we don’t have a chess 960 / fisher random mode at this time.
