STOP saving my bot games.

Sort:
loc7777777

Every time you review a bot game it saves in your archive. I do NOT want this chess.com. 90% of my games are going to be either bots or I won't review it because a lot of times I'm just using the bots to drill some moves. 

Does anyone know how to turn this off? thanks

I can't find any option to disable this.

Hi loc7777777,

I don’t disagree with you that there should be an option to disable this. If you have not done so already, please use the Help button to suggest the feature. The more people suggest it, the more likely chess.com staff will implement it.

Best.

Anyone find a solution? Now it is saving ALL bot games, reviewed or not. It sure does suck to have to spend time deleting all these bot games individually.

I know at one point that the save on Review was required to make the review work correctly. Hadn't heard that all games were being saved, without manually doing it or running a review.

I just tried and the game wasn't saved. How exactly are you playing the games? Website or app?

Okay now it's back to saving only reviewed games. Which still sucks bc I want to review every game but having to go delete 10 six to ten move games is pretty terrible. I submitted a "suggestion" to chess.com

There is an update coming to the vs Computer code, but my understanding is that the save in Review is something that is being done because that's the best way to get reviews to work correctly on them. If that's the case, it's unlikely it's going to change.

Well, I wanted to save them, and it didn’t work!

So you hit game review & it didn't save it in your archive?

If this is here to stay it's not that big of a deal but I much preferred it when you just hit "save game" to archive a particular interesting position.

Yeah, it didn't automatically save for me when testing.

It's relatively new and really annoying. I wish they would turn it back off. I want to simply review a game, not automatically save it as well.

Here here! There has been maybe 2 bot games I've wanted to ever save & it was against Laura. I found the only brilliant move I ever considered to be actually sort of brilliant & it was just a Queen sac to pawn promotion M1 trap. And she didn't take it!!!

 

I've said it before but bots have variable offense (some suck some okay) but their defense, as long as it's above 1000, is absolutely godly sometimes.

If you are on the app and do game report it doesn't auto save either only on browser.

That was added to fix some other bug with reviews on bot games. I don't think it's something that will be removed.

Actually I see they've turned it off again just today, so its fixed for now. Hopefully it stays that way.

It's really too bad this still hasn't been addressed.

How do I delete my games against bots? When I go into the games there is no trash button, and when I go into the archive, there is no option to delete them.

How do you delete games against bots? I don't see the trash icon when I go into the game or any option to delete them in the archive.

There's currently a bug and that option is missing.
