I went to do something that I hadn't done in a while, my favorite thing to do, which is play a bot (by clicking link for Bot) in an unrated game, in 960 chess. When I went to play the bot in said game, I was lured/forced, into a rated, standard game, while thinking I would get an option at some point to choose 960 and whether or not it was rated, and it started the game, and there is no abort button. That is quite upsetting.

So, I went to the "Play" link, instead of the "Bot" link, where I could choose the type of chess and the time control, meanwhile, it gives me no option to choose a bot to play against. What gives? 

I am not sure if the 960 verses bots feature was removed, as well unrated verses bots, but I would like instructions to do that, since the protocol for doing it has apparently changed, and or I would like to see the feature put back, if it was removed.

I am currently stuck on a game I can't abort and do not want to resign, for fear of losing rating. I am serious when I tell you those options were not available to me. On a phone they might be, but I am on PC. I don't usually play on my phone when I am at home, unless I am listening to YouTube or away from computer. I am trying not to give TMI with the last statement.

All I saw was the challenge option and the color option. I tried to scroll down and there was no scrolling available.

To play 960 against a bot on PC.

After selecting "custom" scroll down to select 960 or standard.

Thanks. I didn't realize I would have to click custom. I forgot that was a step.
