Feature request: auto-continue versus computes

Use Case: I'm in human game and either my opponent times-out or resigns. I wish to continue from this position - currently I have to choose analysis > continue from here > select colour

Suggestion: In my settings, I would like to be able to set an "auto-continue" with computer option so that any human game that meeting criteria above (time out, resign) will auto continue with a specified stockfish opponent at a user specified level. Thus allowing me to seamlessly continue my game.

Is it really your game anymore at that point? I'm no philosopher, so I don't have an answer for that. I think the current system works well. The game that you played, which determined your rating, was completed. If you choose to dig deeper into the position, you can play with a computer in analysis board.

Hiya!

One could in theory make this happen today by making a 3rd party application which uses the Lichess API.

One could listen for game results using https://lichess.org/api#tag/Board/operation/apiStreamEvent
And if a game is won by time-out or resignation, one could challenge Stockfish from that same position using https://lichess.org/api#tag/Challenges/operation/challengeAi

As I wanted to try out a couple of Java 23 early access features,
I created a Java example implementing this feature with the Lichess API.
https://gist.github.com/tors42/a853c98e2f6ae44308241c78040cd6fb
(It is of course more cumbersome to run an external Java application than if the feature had been included in the web site,
but at least it's possible...)

Chess on!

The feature suggestion doesn’t seek to “change” the current system- instead the suggestion is about giving users the option to seamlessly continue from a given position against a predetermined Stockfish level for training purposes- not for rating purposes.
