How do I hide the Play 5 | 5 button off the new mobile home page layout?

I just accidently tapped it and hit straight into a game.

I would ask chess.com to remove the green NEW GAME button first

If you remove the Recommended activities option in Settings > Interface > Homepage does that remove it?

No, that is already off, before it showed a puzzle section.

That button takes you to a page where you can create a new game, sonitndiesj’t immediately start one.

The Play 5 | 5 button IMMEDIATELY starts a game! One accidental screen contact and you are in an unwanted game

I shared about this in Help and Support group and got told I'm a Karen for complaining.

It would be nice to also hide the chatty coach head at the top of the page, doesn’t really offer anything of value to a user there

Mine has been removed now in settings. I can find it for you if you like?

Indeed:

Sounds like Skynet ​​is trying to lower my guard before doing something inappropriate

This is all I see in settings -

If you go to https://www.chess.com/settings/coach and turn off the motivational messages it looks like it removes the coach's head at the top of the page.

Great, that option worked. So when Skynet in form of a man with beard tells you about its feelings (e.g. loneliness) it is now considered a motivational message
