Also would be better if they gave realistic ratings to the bots so you could beter know who to play.

Like so many other sites it seems that chess.com has forgotten the basic maxim of "If it ain't broke don't fix it." Tinkering for the sake of tinkering is almost always counterproductive - just ask Microsoft customers.

Before it was possible to choose to play with another person from one device in this mode. Now I don't see this opportunity... Is it gone too?

Just an update. Please see my previous post about my Kasparov chess computer. It has 48  levels of play from very easy to very hard.

I guess that reporting bugs in beta is not an option for everyone, even if you're a paying member of chess.com ...

too many choices

The beta club? You must be joking! Again, this new playing against the computer goes backward over 25 years!!!

Hey guys, I don't know if this will help, or if you were talking about the computer engines in live chess, but do take a look at this forum and comment on it. It may help.

I thought it was a bug that the evaluation bar was displaying and I couldn't find a way to turn it off. Is this seriously intentional? If so, that is incredibly stupid since it ruins the drills as a learning tool. You are only supposed to analyze with a computer after you have analyzed with your mind, I thought that was just common knowledge in the chess community, and I would have expected the team behind the world's biggest chess website to understand that too. How can we be expected to learn if we are not given the chance to first try it ourselves? I am getting increasingly frustrated with chess.com for a number of reasons like this. If another chess website came along that ticked the same boxes, I would be likely to switch to that.
