The Craziest Chess.com Glitch: That I Found!

While sure, who cares about glitches on a chess website. As this isn't any popular game where glitches will give you an advantage, I found one that is so crazy I won a chess match by loosing. 

Back in January of 2023 (I can't belive it has been that long!) I posted a ordinary (to my standards) blog post about the chess bot "Mittens" which is actually a really popular chess bot, and my most popular blog post!! In it I detailed a way as to beat mittens, which at the time I was like "cool" and "no way!!" but I didn't realized that may have been the craziest glitch I have ever found. 

The glitch is really simple to be honest. All I did was just scroll down to "Custom" and set the time to 1 minute 

Just like this:

Then in my match I started it, for some reason once I would move mittens would do the same right after. Eventually I would either lose on time or be checkmated. But right after I lost the first match in the time setting and after being told by chess.com in the end of the game screen that I lost, I went back to the "choose a bot" screen and I saw 2 stars, for some reason back at the time I did this "glitch" you could only get 2 stars for custom time matches, now you get 3 though! 

I have tried the same glitch after again and again . . . and it has yet to ever work since. Maybe it was a mittens only thing, or has been patched. When I tried it again I got different results, which weren't what they were before, but they worked to a certain degree!!

And that is it for the craziest glitch I have ever found on Chess.com. Thanks for reading!

 

Welcome to my blog. In this blog I look at different chess.com things, like chess bots and more. I'm not that great at chess though (sigh) 

I hope you enjoy my blogs.
