Bug Reports

thanks whoever deleted could you delete the 1 above

thanks agin

thank you for fixing the problem with the time control filters

i found another but though,

https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/43769375

in this game white can checkmate black w/royal piece, but if black resigns before he can be checkmated, it is a draw.

draws should take into account what the royal piece is, not just assume you cant checkmate with a royal piece, but that might be to hard to take into account.

ok, this one is even more funny,

in this game black takes white's queen and resigns before white can checkmate

but in this game black is a second too slow, and white checkmates before black can claim a draw.

as you see, this game is decided by how fast black can hit the resign button

This seems very weird:

The tournament should have ended without a game, but the queue is still open.

weird bug

i can't watch games and this screen is frozed whenever i come it shows this screen.

are you sure it is not cause you typed in tea

(Regardless of the fact you typed in tea, fyi)

The watch tab is currently bugged; either no games show or every game from the past few hours shows. I’d advise you to not press on that tab since you could freeze your entire browser.

nvm I just tried to find games to watch and it won't work

i was playing 3check and would take my first move but it would not let me move and the game was aborted

on atomic chess if white moves to fast it will glitch and think you didn't move and I got banned for that this is some bs

I do the move -> Game doesn't continue?? -> I lose rating

Same as above, my first moves in giveaway show the piece moving but my timer doesn't stop. After 20 seconds I am timed out and lose point for forfeiting.

I have the same experience with Crazyhouse. I make my first move, but my clock keeps running and then it aborts me with a message that I didn't move fast enough.

Was playing fog of war. I would place my piece, but it wouldn't register. The piece was on a different square, but my time just kept running until the 20sec mark when I would be penalized for aborting. This resulted in loss of rating points and I ended up getting a 19 minute ban.

When the servers go down, points should not be awarded to anyone. Check out this game I played or didn't because the servers stopped everybody from moving. It's just like russian roulette as to who wins, no skill. https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/45523693/35/3

There are a lot of problems in 4P giveaway. Yesterday I made move but timer was still working and game was aborted for few times one by one. Today I just can't beat a piece so time was ended

for some reason my account is stuck in a permanent game that i can't access, and i'm not sure why this was caused or how to replicate it. i get stuck loading forever after clicking invite/play, and others cannot accept my challenges because it tells them i'm already in a game. if you try to spectate that game, it says it's starting and to try again later. this has been an issue for a day now, and because of it i cannot join any games on the variant server (chess.com/play/online works fine)

100% if the server goes down and you spend literally minutes refreshing the page waiting for it to come back, then the game should be cancelled and no points deducted/awarded to either side. It's frustrating but not that big of a deal, because you can play a few more games and get your rating back
