If you mean in Play, it won't show if your browser window isn't large enough. You can enable/disable by hitting Z on your keyboard. You can also modify the browser zoom level to get it to show.

Just to clarify, this topic was about playing the vs Computer bots and the + is to start a new game.

I have no idea what a computer bot is.  I just play others in direct games.  The previous Chess.com provided an icon (?) to go to Focus Mode, now I can find nothing to open an option for the Focus Mode?  Am I clear?

If you hover over the upper right of the board and don't see the icon for Focus Mode then the browser window is too small to display it. As mentioned, you can hit Z on your keyboard to enable/disable it or change your browser zoom level..

One other option is to enable the Always Use Focus Mode option in settings
