New "Practice vs Computer" link in move explorer makes it very easy to cheat

When I load a daily match in move explorer, there's a new button "practice vs computer." If you accidentally click that button it loads up the position with analysis and tells you whether you made the best move. Which is completely cheating, so it's very easy to accidentally cheat, and therefore it highly increases the likelihood that other players will cheat on purpose.

In my case I only saw one move, and it was the most popular move in the database that I was going to pick anyway, but I almost feel like I have to resign just because I clicked that stupid button by accident. It's in the same place the reset button used to be.

Is it just me or is this a very bad design choice?

Edit: And now I also notice they've broken the reset button. Instead of resetting to the position you loaded, it resets to a NEW BOARD. Ugh. I can work around it but it's so frustrating that chess.com is breaking very good functionality for no apparent reason.
