Yesterday I was in a game. I had 61 points, my opponent had 41 points, and everybody else was dead and had less points.
I resigned in hope that I would get first... but the leaderboard didn't show, and I didn't get any difference in rating. It seems like the game didn't have any impact on my rating (and everybody else's?)

The fastest checkmate in 4PC happens on turn 2.
red plays 'e3' yellow also plays 'e3' Green also plays '.e3'
Then on turn 2 red takes green Queen, and yellow defends the red Queen qith 'Be2' and green is mated.

I have came across a LOT of cases where partners who: 1) disconnect 2) have bad sportsmanship 3) annoying eg. not listening.
Are there any ways that we can report them? Does the block member feature prevent us from playing each other AND being partners?
Thx Richard
[P.S. I don't have a screenshot feature thing going or just don't know how to do it on Windows 10 or chrome. If anyone knows, tell me please.]

I was the lowest ranked player in the game, For my rank was 1230.
My opponents:
Red: 1300
Blue: 1300
Green: 1500
I Checkmated both Red, AND green. then the move after I checkmated red, blue resigned. A Pretty good win if you ask me.

Something is seriously broken with partners game with me never getting the team that has red in it.
The disadvantage of both players moving after their opponents is huge in this version, greater than the disadvantage of black in normal chess. Needs to be fixed before I bother trying to play again.

So basically I was in game, when I tried to prevent a checkmate, I tried to move my rook. but then the rook wouldn't move, It lost me my queen, and then later my opponet left the game when he was about to be checkmated.
So 1. Fix the bug plz.
2. We really need to fix this bad teammate problem :/

In case you were wondering, in this game 2 of the people had to leave early and i got to take there kings first.

Free-for-all 4 player chess will not work. Too much luck is involved, too much cheating, too few people understand anything.
The team play will be the real thing, team play where you get to chose your partner. Now people will not be able to cheat. the best team will win.
I look forward to that. Fools will always lose.

* Choose your range within 4PC's settings play or not close out your browser's tab or 4PC tab itself and then go back into your browser or open a new tab and then select 4PC play a team game and you'll see how the range defaults wide to 100 to 3K -basically the entire span.
* Which brings me to the suggestion if it's not a bug that that selector should be locked as set by the member. Why should a member have to constantly move the selector when more times then not they'll play in that range of opponents?

I want to watch other team games sometimes.
But I have to open and close many games before I find some team games, as most of the games are FFA.
Could you do something that we could determine immediately which games are team and FFA just looking at the list.
As a suggestion, maybe different colors for team games.

It was my turn, I wasn't in check and I couldn't move, my clock ran down from a full minute to a lose despite the fact that my team was winning!!!!!!!!

The servers was updated today.
1. I started a game, selected Teams Mode and accidentally appeared in a FFA game. Is it a bug? Or I clicked something wrong?
It is just a bit scary to start a new game now. I am 2000+, played in FFA vs. 3 1400+ guys. After 3 first moves I noticed that it is not a Teams Mode So, I managed to win (1st place) and earned +3 to my rating. But I do not want it to happen again. Better to wait till there is a rating cap in the matchmaking algo.
2. The new Top list (Top20 with FFA and Teams) is wrong in its Teams part. It shows some strange ratings and a guy with 1200 has a higher place than Wraku with his 2000+.

This happened in a team game recently where someone was literally spamming allchat. Before the first 5 seconds, we had 11 messages from them. This guarantees we cannot teamchat effectively, since we need to scroll up to read each others messages.
What can be done to stop such cases?

So there's comatose and then there's "arrowtose" lol. I have partners misuse then inoperative arrows one wrote out OK on the entire board then proceeded to draw all over the place, this was one of his early works. Freakin' Rembrandt here, SMH LOL

Just discovered that in addition to being really annoying, loud and unstoppable, the video ads continually being played during games are causing me to lose games due to lag, while the videos are buffering. Time to stop the madness, have ads, but not video ads!

Two kings accosted by an enemy queen. Though both are immediately adjacent to their attacker and she is undefended, neither can retaliate, as they each "defend" the queen from the other.
Were it not or red's pawn, blue would have completely gotten away with this. Just found this funny.

I was playing a team game and my opponent's queen wouldn't promote. I hope this can be fixed in the future.

I just wanted to give this it's own space. I think these ranges are very important for the game, and in my opinion even more so in teams.
I would like to point out that it's not just about rating, it's just chess is a fun game vs people with a similar skill. I've had a couple of experiences now in team play with random partners after which I just don't want to play that way anymore, it was frustrating.
It definitely makes sense to prioritise having games running while the game is still acquiring a critical mass, but how about implementing right now a very wide cap that avoids extreme imbalances, and then making it smaller progressively?

that moment when your teammate doesn't really consider your moves because you have a very low rating and he thinks, he knows best because he is way higher than you, but you end up losing anyways
