Also, they changed the options and it seems like they removed the options to play with analysis or to play starting from a custom position.
What happened to in-game analysis?

I'm glad I am not the only one to notice. I think it is terrible. Who wants a hint button?
For me all the bot options are missing. I can only play on challenge mode now, no eval bar or feedback on moves.
there are several recent threads on the same issue! i hope they revert the recent changes and bring back custom challenge options (eval bar, take backs, hints, engine lines, etc) for all bots.

Used to be you could puzzle out a few moves in an analysis mode during bot games. Now that button is just a "hint" button which gives you the answer immediately. Is there any way to get the old UI back in the settings?
