A few times now I've created a new game in live chess.  I put in my criteria (10 minutes, rated, max 1050 opponent for example) and as soon as I click to create the game someone accepts the challenge.  They then abort.  I create the game again and immediately the same person accepts, and aborts.  I'll do this again and again.  Is this person somehow automatically accepting the game or are they just being a jerk?  How can I avoid this when I want to issue an open challenge?

Okay, I could believe that If he didn't accept the challenge 20 times in a row and every time immediately as I created the game.  It is like he has something automated where he puts in criteria for a game he's looking for and the comp immediately chooses the first challenge that fills that criteria.

If they have a challenge set up and your challenge matches theirs then you will automatically be paired together.  I've had it happen before.  Just wait a minute and try again.

Really?  The comp automatically matches up like that?  Good to know.  Thanks.

A little annoying though.  The guys who abort my challenges should really set their filters for a maximum opponent rating.  But thanks for the info.

Sounds like a bug.. Sometimes when I finish a game, I then try to play another person but instead of loading a fresh board configuration, the screen reloads the checkmate position from the previous opponent even though I pressed "new game"
