bc6048 (ID: 0000002c719aaa82) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/12/2022 Perfect. It would be better to be able to use additional build-in engines, customized engines (uploaded from users), set engine strength, choose engine playing style (for example, positional, tactical, aggresive, passive, non-book-moves openings, etc).
