Chess.com variant server is sometimes a little bugged. In spell chess we already found a bug which is explained on the page linked. But now, i think i have found a new bug (this one won’t have any importance toh, or just for people trying to get nice checkmates). Please consider the very simple following line :

e4 e6
freeze@c7Bb5 freeze@c5Bb4
c3 c6
cxb4 cxb5
Nc3 Nf6
Nxb5 a6
freeze@e7Nd6 freeze@e5Nc6
Qh5+ Ke7
jump@d6Qc5+

If you put this line in spellchess.win, it’s gonna add a little # (it’ll be considered as a checkmate), while if you write this line in the variant server, it’s not gonna add the # because it thinks jump@d7Qxd6 removes the piece we jump over and isn’t check anymore.

To conclude it seems like chess.com considers that the jump applies on a piece and not on a square.

Tell me in the forum what you think of this new bug/rule précision, and new articles soon !
