Live Chess Bug: Server moved my Queen where it could be taken!

i wasnt making a joke aww i hold what i said as valid you played an honourable player and that alone redeems what happens to a positive for you i sincerely hope this glitch never troubles you or any other chess player again

Looking at your video it does seems as if there is a bug. I take it you use  auto-switching to get to the next game? Since the next move you make in the video is bishop to c4 (the same square your queen ended up at), it wouldn't be unreasonable to guess that the auto-switching messes things up and makes a move in the previous game.

Everyone forgets you, Adam.

I hope the glitch is found. In the meantime you might consider a lightheartedness top up, aww-rats. A bottle of beer and an episode of the Simpsons might be enough.

I see your point about Bc4 in the previous game, but when I play it, it auto switches me to the game in question and he has already taken on c4. Look at willysweetkane's testimony. He thought for 5-6 minutes before he took my Queen. This puts the point of 26. Qc4 back around the  12:23:00 mark of the video.

Too bad chess.com doesn't have time stamping for the moves, but 9 minutes passed between my views of the game. The screenshots from my video show I gained some time because of the 30 second increment.

We only improve in chess by admitting our mistakes and trying to eliminate them!

I've just seen the video proof and you're right; there's just no way you played Qc4. Seems like a serious bug to me.

Scottrf, did you win the Forum Big Mouth Championship? You people are worse than trolls, acting big and intelligent on chess forums...sick, just sick. You're not the best, though...too many of you "I-Am-So-Intelligent"s...

I just put Scottrf on my ignore list, so he shouldn't be able to post in this or any of my other topics. He chose to troll and not pay attention to what was said. We don't need to read his, or other folk's rantings.

Fact, this is a bug and it could cost you all in any game you play. You should be thanking me for bringing it to staff's attention.

Steady on, son.

And shouldn't ALL of that be in capitals?

My god, it's queen passant.

This actually happened to me quite a few times a couple of years back ... but at that time I was also seeing my games arbitrarily toggled into "blindfold" mode.

It happened as well against an opponent of mine about 4 months or so ago.

And it's always the queen! Never just a pawn. It has on every occasion been the queen that is lost, on a move registered but never played. Glad to see it's happening to other people.

...I mean, not because it's happening to you, but because it means it's not just my little world in which physics and the laws of chess don't behave normally.

All trolls should be blocked so they can't troll

Johnyoudell, are you scottrf's boyfriend?

No, what I meant was that after you played Qxc2 against willysweetkane, the screen switched to another game (against cheeky-chicky) and then you played Bc4. 

So, if I am correct about the source of the bug, it is in the client, and it possibly requires auto-switching, and that the next move is a valid square for the last moved piece in the previous game. Not likely to happen very often, good catch (sad it had to happen, though)!

Good decision aww-rats. Even i get annoyed with people who joke at serious times. I believe you. Surely, chess.com needs to be improved.

The bloke thinks too high of himself... I'd suggest some Cioran for him, just to kick down a little of that ego... plus he supports Mayweather, because now it is cool ... what an idiot really

You could be close. My next move in the next game is Bf1-c4. This means the squares I touched in order from last game were c2, f1, c4. Seems he touch of f1 would negate playing Qc2-c4 in the "bug" game, and even if you're right, how were two moves played at once in two different games? When we return to the game I played Bf1-c4, it clearly had registered and was captured. When you leave a game and move on to the next, you can't move in the game you left...

We received your support ticket and are reviewing the issue.  Thanks for the video .  It's not often someone gets a recording of something like this!

Thanks! I thought of one possibility, which I mentioned to Erik. More info is needed that only my opponent can answer, willysweetkane. Here it is:

When 26. Qc2-c4 was played on your board, did it happen immediately after 25...Rc8? If not, how many seconds elapsed; your best guess please...thanks. :)
