Hopefully not just a temporary fix, but so glad this has been implemented, it works really good, thanks a lot, this is so cool and it also put the stars on the bot once game is finished plus automatically saves the game (which is not by default when playing on chesscom). One more thing I could suggest and that would be super cool, is having the stars on completed bots directly on the chessup bots screen. Do you think this could be feasible, is this information exposed somehow by chesscom? Thanks again for the awesome work, this board is getting better and better at each release
I was really bummed when saving bot games didnât work when I tried it back in December and have been patiently waiting. I hope Chess.com can fix it. I wish I would have known before and I would have never subscribed to Chess.com. 3 months of a subscription wasted because I just want to play bots to learn and have it analyze my games afterwards so I can see what I did wrong. I donât want to waste peopleâs time by using a live opponent to learn my mistakes. IIRC, the website itself doesnât even save bot games. You have to manually save each game.
Whenever I play a Bot on chess.com and analyze right after the game ends, it is saved. When I donât analyze it, it is not saved. I can live with that, because what should it be saved for, if I do not even bother to analyze it right after the game ends?
This is no direct help but you are not wasting anybodyâs time playing and losing. People love to win. And if they are similarly rated you may be surprised at the number of wins you get.
IMHO playing Bots only makes sense for entertainment, not for learning. Most of them donât play like humans. Better play human opponents. Nobody will think he is waisting his time, by winning against you. And you will never lose. Either you win or you learn.
You could be right. I do not play chess.com bots on the Chessup 2. I only play them rarely in the browser and there it gets saved after I analyze it right after the game.
I understand that some folks may like to have the bot games saved, but I personally donât care. If you really want to take the bot games seriously as OTB games, why not take them as real OTB games, where you write down the moves on a score sheet and after the game, you transfer the moves to an analyze on chess.com or as study on lichess. I do that with my real OTB games I play in our team championship. So you spend more time with the game and analyzing the game, which could lead to better understanding the game and learning more from it.
Chess.com is working on all played bot games saved. Also the games played against them on the ChessUp 2. Itâs comming but there is not an exact time frame. They working on it so it wonât take to long I guess.
Personaly I like playing bots. You can see when they make mistakes. Also against âlower ratedâ bots you can play your prepared openings. But everyone plays their way .
Are you seriously asking why donât I write down games instead of the three hundred dollar electronic Chess board saving it for me? Câmon, man. I appreciate you trying to being helpful, but I want my electronic chess board to do electronic chess board things.
It does all this, if you are playing the internal Bots. Every single game I played against an internal Bot is in my previous games archive in the Chessup app. Chess.com Bot games are not saved at the moment, but that is probably a chess.com issue and it looks like they are working on that.
