I know this is a human error and so unfixable, BUT it drives me absolutley CRAZY when i accept an open seek and the person abandons the game because they don't want to play me.  There are score limits and selective settings that control the people who have access to your seek so USE IT AND STOP WASTING MY TIME.   If you create an OPEN seek with NO restrictions i assume you will play me so when i accept one and you leave just to create a new seek i get frustrated.

 

/me ends rant. 

sorry to go on, but this just gets me going :(

(also, forgive me if this was a subject of a previous thread.  I didn't really look for a similar one)

     I am not sure if they are abandoning the game or if it is just a bug in LIVE CHESS.  I often put out a seek, it is accepted, but the game never starts.  I wait a few minutes then close the game.  It seems to happen quite often and is very frustrating.

It is definitely not a bug.  They abandon the game i accepted then another seek shows up moments later.  Just for fun, if i could still accept it, i join their game again......then again.....then again......until they are forced to play me, or they actually start to learn about seek features.

It happens to me quite a bit also.  I just figured that the name C-Miller ivoked terror in their minds and they knew they would lose.  LOL

Actually, I'm new to chess.com and am still learning how things work.  Cool
