Finish archive game vs. computer from earlier position?

I am looking over a game in my game archive and would like to try an alternative against the computer. However, if I follow Finish Game Vs. Computer, it picks up at the end of my game, and I can't go back. I would like to pick up a game against the computer at an earlier move. Is that possible?

Hi,
I am also looking for a way to finish a game with computer from a certain point. If you have found a way please write.
In the meantime this is how i do it:
1. Open your archive game
2. Click live analysis
3. When live analysis opens click on the move number that you want to start from later on
4. Click FEN and then click Current to get current's position FEN.
5. Now you have to URL endoce this FEN, so you have to replace each "/" with  "%2F" and each "space" with "%20"
 i.e.
 8/8/2p4k/7N/PR1b2r1/1P6/KP6/4r3 b - - 0 34
 becomes
 8%2F8%2F2p4k%2F7N%2FPR1b2r1%2F1P6%2FKP6%2F4r3%20b%20-%20-%200%2034
6. At the end add information which side you were playing, if black then add "&black=1", if white then "&black=0"
7. Now enter full url in a browser
