Position:

When you checkmate an opponent (or resign, or timeout), you "accidentally" draw the game, like these games:

(and so on...)

  • Note: I think it's a newly, "accidentally" "created" by Chess.com devs.

I have problems regarding Open Testing. There was open testing for “Senapati,” but it showed White had 24 points, when I didn’t even see the rule of GOP on the ruleset in the initial games. This allowed White to claim a win at almost any point, though I agreed with my opponent not to claim it. I think CGAbot miscopied the gamerules.

one day i was playing chess, my new variant called "cross disaster", and it was still my turn, i tried to resign but it won't let me, i cannot move my pieces, nothing fixed the bug, even if i didn't move my pieces in time, the only way to fix it is to reload my webpage,

Unable to join variant games. I click join and the button for joining disappears. The game never begins. In the past, I've experienced this for certain variants (e.g., can't join 4-player games). Since yesterday, it's affecting ALL games. Spectating games still works for me. I have also tried clearing cookies, refreshing, logging back in.

Edit: Seems to be resolved.

same problem here, but I think its a connection problem

This issue is recurring again for the past few days. Can see games but can't join any.

Can't really do anything about reproducing or fixing the issue then....

Game links can't be deleted, right?

Should be in your archive. From your message I assume it was a custom variant of your creation that is (as yet) unpublished?

We can't really do much about it if we can't access the game link. Sounds really frustrating though!

one day i was creating a new variant and when i filled up the blue, one of the boats weren't a boat and just a normal rook, and it was the 1st one, i have proof:

Issue is still ongoing for me. Regular chess works fine. Variants do not. Would appreciate any suggestions.

I think our devs are working on this already. Often reloading a page can help to fix the issue (sorry, I know it's such an annoying answer). It's happened to me a few times where the "play" button is still there and you click it and nothing happens (normally after a game has ended). Is that what's happening for you? I just reload the page and it seems to work.

Thank you. Yep, that’s the issue for me. Have tried reloading, using different browsers, different devices, clearing cookies, etc. No solution for me yet.

Sometimes, in today’s WoF tournament, Blue is automatically moved for without the player doing anything. Example:

https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/51430017

I wanted to play Exl10, but instead the server didn’t wait for me and did not fulfill my wishes by playing 1.b Exm13?. I still was victorious, but that move could have sent me off course!

No one has looked into this bug for a month? I have an explanation: if the page is laggy, and your move comes right after a zombie's move, the server auto-moves for you on your first move, even if your move is one of the worst moves (aka it plays random moves). This bug is really annoying.

Have you been able to reproduce the bug in a new game?

Avatar of zisal2029

Yes, I have reproduced it several times. Here are a few examples:

1. https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/52635785 Explanation: I was reloading the page when suddenly, Red and Blue moved. Then the server randomly made me play a blunder after I reloaded the page since my move preceded Blue's.

2. https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/52776544 It was taking longer than usual for the server to load the starting game, so instead of letting me start with my regular theory of this WoF (i.e. with Qxc11 or Qxc4), it just played an awkward move, 1.b Q7c7?!.

I was a playing a KotH game in a tournament and apparently my opponent ran out of time but when I reloaded, it turns out I had only a few seconds left on my clock. Game link below:

(Notice the 20 second drop in black's time)

  1. This is a Chess.com/Play game; this club is for Chess.com/Variants only
  2. In a majority of cases with the Play server, disconnections are usually on your end and not the server's

In Tag Team, the white and black pieces in the corner have not fully rendered. It's been like this for 2 days. I am using google chrome and this problem did not appear until 2 days ago.
