Bug Reports

The bot API (for 4PC) doesn't return the opponent's response. @omatamix and @tony also confirmed.

Not working properly in Android

Fog of war chess pieces are sometimes visible when they shouldn't be. Also, sometimes I can see shadows of pieces my opponent has moved. Further, sometimes pieces are not visible when they should be.

WTF is going on with 4PC?

I have the same problems as k20shores. Plus I cannot move by playing on my phone, I cannot see the names of the players playing with the black pieces. The buttons for draw and resign are partly placed over the board, unless I turn my phone 90°, but that doesn't feel comfortabele.

HI I can see the board in fog of war and before that I could see the square where my opponent move his pieces

I mean, variants was never optimized for phone, but not being able to move at all is definitely an issue I'll ask about, since touch screen computers are also affected by this.

In the updated new version:

a) there are very annoying points (showing possible moves), impossible to remove,

b) the zombie king is not shown as previously,

c) there is no more specific sound when it's YOUR move.

Guys, why on Earth are you changing something that works well?

in spell chess, if you attempt to freze a players piece that is checking your king, and then castle (your not really castling out of check as spells block checks.) the game frezes.

in this game my opponent attempts to freze my checking queen and then castle, but a popup came in the top right hand of the screen, saying "illegal move" and then MY time was going down, it is unknown who would have lost as he resigned though.

- try clicking the link, you should get an error when you get there.

I'm noticing some weird visual effects in variants in the web browser today. Pieces are all more grayed out than usual. More concerningly, in the game of Fog of War I played, the squares where my opponent's pieces were starting/going were sometimes highlighting in yellow, despite being deep in fog! E.g., I could see their first move highlighted, g2-g3.

BUGS FOUND

When show coordinates is on, the coordinates are actually hidden. The opposite happens when coordinates is off. Also, please add 'Use FoW background image.' Also add the archer using the latin letter thorn or Þ

When I change the 4pc preset to 2pc preset my editor goes all crazy https://prnt.sc/yoAR1tK2xWh8

When I first opened the variants server and use classic pieces, white looks like a dead piece. https://prnt.sc/ckYhUdPfILen

When you really checkmate in N-check, the check number stays there https://prnt.sc/AQeo7cICFwEW

When minihouse is not in featured https://prnt.sc/O1hMczo29dkH

This is not stalemate but this is: https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/53501648/29/2

This is a work of art but this is... runway.

Firstly, my screen and spells were cursed and the futer resigned on Move 1! https://prnt.sc/KX62mj2H8X-C

• The pieces being more grey is an intentional change, whether it stays or not we'll have to see
• Moving a variant to another category is extremely difficult since we'd likely need to design a logo for it and as of right now copying ratings is also not easy.

As for the other issues, they're either simple QoL issues or obvious server issues. @qilp and @Goondrious are working on it and many of them will have a fix within a day or two.

New game is bugged (look at the chat)

Also there's a sound of reloading after every my move

In addition: you cannot see who ate what anymore. The eaten pieces are not shown.

I don't like it It looks too much like a dead piece and is too confusing

Fourway chess is glitching something awful.

Whenever someone forfeits, until their king is mated the game shows double moves by sever other players.

Another bug: i cant promote pieces when playing on my phone

Fog of War has been broken for the last 48 hours or so. You can now see a highlight (and sometimes the piece) that has been moved and the resultant square. The fog of war variant should only show visible pieces/squares

This is happening randomly in 4PC:
