Update about the Chess Bots

You can now pick any Bot that you want to play against from any board – the old TimeControl chooser has been expanded to support Bot selection, and it also allows you, when offering a PVP game, to offer Unrated/Rated game.
(All Solo and Play Bot games are unrated, as are PVP games you play against yourself.)

Enjoy!

Bots are fully explained in the User Guide

3DChess Play-vs-Bots now available at Chess in the Park

the Chess in the Park scene at 4,106 now has Bot play enabled.

For now the bot that plays is based on the table you use, with board Park.1 having the weakest bot Opie-Bot, and Park.6 having Elliott-Bot.

The descriptions of the Bots have been added to the User Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Dq8pCZA5BAkqryvxRaMs_Wf8sN7X-h1AF01cECFDuw/edit
