Are the descriptions going to be re-added? Now the bots just feel emotionless and less fun to play.
Okay

I am also upset that they were removed and hope they’ll be restored soon

Who does Chess.com think they are removing the beloved descriptions? Bring them back!

At the very least, could it please have a permanent toggle between having the descriptions on or off? Anyway the starting quote doesn't give nearly as much context to how the bots play as their descriptions and overall is a better experience than not having the descriptions.

Yes, it is a much better experience. I never even bother to play bots anymore.

Also: The first line the bot says when you click on it ISN'T the same as the descriptions. The descriptions told you how the bot played and provided flavour. The first line does not do that. Also: WHO ASKED FOR THE DESCRIPTIONS TO EVEN BE REMOVED IN THE FIRST PLACE?

I think they should add it back.
You can still see them if you go to Analysis → Practice With Computer → Change Bot. However, doing this means that you won’t be able to see their chat lines.
I think they should add the descriptions back to the main “Play Bots” page. I’ve honestly played against them much less ever since their descriptions were removed. It makes it harder to tell what kind of playstyle the bots will have.
shucks
