I’m having fun playing through the chess.com bots but notice several are missing, including any beyond the intermediate level. Do you guys plan to expand the lineup so I can live my dream of playing OTB against Levy, Hikaru, and Magnus?
Hi Brewer,
Do you have a paid chess.com account? If you do you should see more bots. If you are using a free account they will be limited. We do have some work to do on bots to take into account new monthly bots. So even the free accounts will be seeing more bots in the future once we get everything hooked up.
I have a diamond membership and also don’t see any options for bots beyond intermediate.
Same, diamond member here. It’s also not just a line where the standard list of bots end – some are missing in the middle of the beginner and intermediate lineup, none beyond intermediate.
Thanks for the feedback. We will look into this. You should see a lot more bots with a Diamond membership. Perhaps not all of them because we still have work to do to get that setup properly.
There is a sligh difference between non-diamond and Diamond. So it’s not like nothing is happening. But, definitly not the full lineup (which I thought was the current status, as there was no reason to put the full lineup in the demo version, no?)
Here’s 2 videos showing the differences.
Now that’s curious. Mine includes several more – wonder what factor is causing the discrepancy.
You see 2 coach, 3 adaptive, 1 beginner.
Then you see 2 coach, 1 adaptive, 2 beginner, 1 intermediate.
Mine shows 2 coach, 5 adaptive, 14 beginner, 5 intermediate.
I have the same options as Brewer.
We haven’t intentionally removed any bots. We just haven’t fully implemented the process of pulling the bot list from chess.com. This will be coming in a future firmware release.
Currently, for a diamond member we would expect to see the list like Brewer showed. That will of course grow when we fully implement bots.
