Title: Bots disabled
Post by banMic on Jan 22nd, 2012, 12:09pm
Hi,

When I try to play a bot I get the message that the bots are disabled.  I've looked around the forum to see if there is a reason for this but haven't found it.  

Do you know why the bots are off and when they will be back online?  

I have really started to like this game.  

Thanks,

Michael

AFAIK the bots are disabled whenever there is a World Championship or World Computer Championship event game going on, and they will be turned back on when the game ends.

I thought that might be the case.

If I remember, I try to leave ArimaanatorFast running from my home computer during event games so that folks have at least one option rated over 1500.  But it is only ~1750; for a really strong bot to run during an event game would require the developer to run it on his computer.
