Hi everyone,
First to say that I really like the product , especially part where you set the board once with wifi and you can forget about it. less phone time the better for me.
in that same spirit , i would like to know if you can implement prefered opening setting , it can be in phone app if not possible on board itself but should be again once set and forget until changed. so if i want to practice opening it will always give me the same opening against bots.
also i like idea about limiting the number of hints overall. That would start my kid thinking more and not just touching pieces.
Best Regards,
Petar

Good question.
@JustinF - suggestion to have preferred opening system behavior on built in bots.

As an in between solution you can simply ignore the suggested bot move and choose another one and just make the (opening-) move you want. That’s what I do against the build-in bots if they play some nonsense I don’t want to play further
