Apologies if this has been answered before, but can you play the bots on [chess.com](http://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. ---

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](http://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](http://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](http://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. ---

I’ve not been able to play with the bots on [chess.com](http://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. ---

Sorry - we don’t have a chess 960 / fisher random mode at this time.
