Puzzles: play from position against selected computer strength. (available on app, not on website)

#1
I love the new puzzles.

However, getting an advantage in a game is useless if you can't convert it.

This is why on the app I like to hit the analyze button after completing a puzzle, then the three lines button bottom right, then "continue from here" where I can play against the stockfish level 3 (which is slightly above my ranking). If I do "practice with the computer", stockfish just slays me and I get frustrated and don't learn as much.

The website just has the "practice with computer" icon.

I want this feature on the website because I like setting the puzzle difficulty to easier when I just want to have fun solving puzzles. I'd be equally happy with allowing us to set puzzle difficulty on the app.

"This Button is disabled on mobile website in portrait mode."

What button are you referring to?

@alaskakUU continue vs computer after having done a puzzle. This button is avaible on the website if you use a computer. On your phone you need to be in landscape mode

@a_player I'm using a computer I do not see a "continue vs computer" button. There is a target button below the green thumbs up that says "practice with computer". When I click that I have to play stockfish 12 and I lose fast. On app there is a way to "continue vs computer" where I can select stockfish level just above my ranking (stockfish 3).

I figured it out! After finishing the puzzle:
1. You click the target button that says "play with the computer".
2. Then you click the button with 3 horizontal lines in the bottom right corner.
3. Then you click board editor.
4. Then you put in whether it's black or white's turn to play.
5. Then you click "continue from here".
6. Then you click "play with the computer"
7. At which point you can select the difficulty of stockfish and what side you will play as.

way more steps than mobile, but at least it's doable :)
