Cannont finish games vs computer!!! please help

Sort:
Riggo12

I used to like going over my games in the analysis section and I would switch over at certain points to the "finish vs computer" option to see how the engine would have handled a position (switch it to level 10).

Did that option disappear in the last few days or did I do something in the settings to make it go away?

I don't know, but I just checked a game in my archive and I still have it.  I'm on the browser.  Maybe it's a diamond only feature now?  Sorry I couldn't help more....

If you're on Analysis/Game Report, it currently only shows in the Retry tab.

Thanks for the responses.

The retry tab (after the first use or two) is a diamond tier feature.  I just signed up for the Platinum and was able finish vs computer as much as a I wanted.  Not a fan of chess.com taking features away from paying customers days after they sign up.

Its a bug in their latest software. The button is still there its just hidden because of a software glitch.

They've not yet realized that it is a bug, but hopefully they will. There's no possible good reason to remove this feature, so they just need to recognize and fix it.

Staff have been made aware that it is missing. It was brought up in the beta forums as well a few days ago.

Does that mean you can still press it? I hover the mouse where it used to be but can't find it.

 

No, you'll need to go to one of the places it can still be seen.

Do I need to be a premium member to do that?

 

 

I don't think so. Just go to your archive and do not load the game from the analysis. Clicking any of the other columns should just load your game, without analysis and the icon will be there.

 

I have asked about the missing option on the Analysis of the game.

There is no way to do it for now. Just download the file and load it into a program like Stockfish.

They say that the feature is coming back.

It's still possible, just not from the analysis of the game.

 

edit: oops, I was wrong. Image removed

Thanks for everybody who has responded.

How does that screen shot show that you can still "finish vs computer"? (maybe I'm missing something) I see the computer with the magnifying glass icon but that just leads to the analysis screen.

I hope chess.com didn't remove this feature because they want people to upgrade to the Diamond tier so people will pay for the "retry mistakes" option.  The "finish vs computer" option was an effective (and much better) way to bypass that useless feature.

It would be nice to hear from staff on this.

Sorry, made a mistake. I'll ask again about it.

Martin_Stahl

Staff said it has been ticketed and is being worked on.
