How to disable move suggestions/evaluations in games with computer?

Hey, I am playing games with the computer bots and I don't want to see my moves evaluated (i.e. this is a blunder, this is a good move) or see all the playing lines outlined for me with the suggested move. It drives me nuts. How do I make it go away? I saw in the help that there is supposed to be something called "focus mode" if you put your cursor near the settings icon, but it doesn't seem to appear at all for me.

Thanks, any help appreciated!

Hi,

If you're playing the bots you should get the option, after selecting one to play, between Challenge, Friendly, Assisted, or Custom. If you choose Challenge no lines or moves will be shown. If you choose Friendly you'll have some help if you want. If you choose assisted you'll see all the moves as you described here in your post. Custom will let you set it however you want with or without lines being shown to you.

 

Focus mode is how I usually play but seems to only appear in live games with other players. Hope this help. Have fun!

Thank you, this worked! (And got me beat by the 1200 bot LOL...I had it until I didn't spot a checkmate late in the game).

Awesome so glad to hear it worked! Know the feel of missing a trick in the end and losing a won game... just makes me want to play another to win this time!

You can't. That would be considered unfair play.

Hi Everyone. I wanted to use the Practice board for puzzles without any lines or suggestions. I turned that off but now I would like to stop the computer from making my opponent's moves. Don't see it in settings. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Oh! I wonder what all of these settings do? Maybe if I hover over the (?) icon next to them it'll tell me!

It the Custom option when playing bots.
