Can't play Komodo anymore.

WhatWouldMorphyDo

Starting yesterday, I've been unable to play Komodo. It says searching for a game and continues indefinitely. The only games I play are against Komodo11, as you can see on my profile. Please fix ASAP.

The site has been moving away from bots in live. You may still see some but the place to play is Play > Computer

That's not rated, I want to see my rating progressing. I don't play against humans. There's no point to playing the bots if it's not rated. Guess I'll let my diamond membership expire and play on [another site - MS]

me too. Bots can't cheat so that's a big incentive for playing rated games against bots.

The intent is that all play in Live will be against other members and not bots. It has been suggested to add a rating option the newer bots, but I don't know how likely that is.

current bots are:

  • unrated
  • time limit cannot exceed 30min
  • finished games are not saved in history

that's a major regression compared to what was chess.com offered before

True, not automatically by default, but you can save any of them to your archive if you play one you want to keep.

@JamesColeman: Yes, that works. I just tried. Many thanks for the tip!

nevertheless unrated only and time limit ≤ 30min are dealbreakers for me

My most relevant reason for retaining my membership with Chess,com was the ability to play against Komodo 10, 11, 12 and have those games rated and auto saved. If you have decided that I can no longer do that then I will not be renewing my subscription. I am not really interested in playing v real people due to the high percentage of rudeness and cheating. So, is it Goodbye to Chess,com?

yes, a sad state of affairs.

please contact customer support (by clicking on the question mark in the bottom left corner). Maybe if enough of us complain, they will correct their mistake.

Well, I guess my 10 year relationship with this site has come to an end.

I can understand that. This move by chess.com is certainly self-destructive.

I also came on here to find out where Komodo went. First post on here since i joined the site years ago. Komodo is my preferred play style.

I feel you. You can play Komodo anytime without waiting.
Whereas it takes ages to get matched with humans.

ok, previously I was able to save games manually at least, but now even that option seems to have been removed. Or am I just blind?

I can save bot-games into a custom collection, but not into the normal game history. Has this option been removed as well now (along with all the other good stuff) ?

stormiknights

any help please ?

stormiknights

I would be thankful for any help offered.

I still see the option but the game has to be completed. You can't save an unfinished game to the archive.

thanks, Martin!

Which button do you use?
If a game ends by resignation, I don't see any such button.
