Rated players and matched bots share one Elo. Choose Bots only for a rated bot opponent. Manually chosen practice bots and friend matches are unrated. Time controls show starting minutes + increment seconds after each move. Reconnect after a brief connection loss to resume your live game; clocks continue while disconnected. Board skins unlock through completed rated and bot games.
