Another bug in this game. If it is not a bug please explain why.

On move 13, they play rook d1 check, and I want to freeze their bishop and take the rook, but it doesn't let me. Since the rules say that spells must be cast before making a chess move, and frozen pieces cannot check or checkmate king, and both casting the freeze spell and moving the king take place on my turn, I don't see why I can't freeze the bishop and take the rook.

My opponent had the same thing. I had him in check with my queen with my bishop protecting the queen with a jump. He could have frozen my bishop and taken my queen but it would only let him freeze my queen. I could have frozen his king after he captured my queen, but he could have put another piece in the way of my bishop to prevent jumping and he would have avoided the capture of his king. I can't find the game

i play 4pc but manage to play 1 out of 4 games. He blocks me non-stop and I lose points because I don't manage to make a move in time. It makes me so angry

I can't capture&promote, even when it's the only legal move

In 4pc, have had three games now where I just can't move a piece. Comes to my turn, I move, but it only shows as a premove. Also have had disconnect issues. This is a joke, you've managed to completely break the game.

Make sure you are on the latest move. Maybe try refreshing. But yes that is annoying.

I cannot promote in 4pc anymore. The pawns would not move passed the 7th square.

That's not just 4PC. This is happening in every single variant. Devs are aware and are already working on a fix. It should be fixed in a few hours.

The 4PC game shows that the previous player does not make a move and his time tends to zero. After his time was reset to zero, I can't walk. After reloading the page, it turns out that it was not his time that was reset, but mine, and that the previous player continues to play safely, and my figures are all gray.

The game is 4PC. The side that has expired - its king turns gray. At the same time, the side that was checkmated is also the king of gray. I saw that the king was gray and considered him dead, put his queen next to him, when suddenly the dead king ate him...

The game is 4PC. Why are the live kings of time-expired players not displayed in their color as before? Why are they all gray, and even those who have already been checkmated.

The game is 4PC. Why is the party that has expired - all its figures periodically remain in their colored non-gray colors, and some kind of incomprehensible glowing halo is drawn around them? Are these their souls? Or what is it? The rules do not say anything about the souls of the figures who have delayed their turn.

The game is 4PC. Why, after the previous player's time freezes, when pressing F5 to refresh the page in the game chat, all the messages that were there disappear every time F5 is pressed, they all disappear without a trace.

Avatar of Den2S

The game is 4PC. Previously, there was a preliminary move that could be canceled and another move could be made. Now, if you have made a preliminary move, then there is no way to mark it no matter how hard you try. This is completely wrong. It shouldn't be like this.

Avatar of Den2S

The game is 4PC. The living king of the side that has expired - why does he eat the pieces of only one player, and not eat the pieces of another player???? Either the rules should state that the car king of the overdue eats any piece next to it without fail, or does not eat any piece and makes a move to an empty field. Otherwise, it is discrimination of the pieces by the color of the players.

Avatar of Den2S

The game is 4PC. In one of the games, the live king of a player who has overstayed his time (in this case, gray) made a move to the side for as many as two in one move! cells at once. Do half-dead kings have the ability to walk two squares in one move?

The game is 4PC. In one of the games, I first blocked the ability to move the pieces, and then they started walking themselves. I didn't understand at all what it was and why is the system walking my figures instead of me?

Avatar of aly_dinamo

4PC FFa. At some point in the game, it would not let me make some moves, no matter how many times I refreshed. Some moves I could make, some not.

+ everything that Den25 and everybody else said after that untested/unprofessional update. So many bugs.

What's going on with Chess.com so many bugs, the website is so over-complicated for what should be really simple. It's such a shame as there's good features but every time someone changes something its screwing other things up.

FoW was working perfectly well, why start messing around with it? Now its completely screwed.

Does anyone from Chess.com even read the bug reports? Does anything ever get fixed. Seems completely hopeless

Yes, yes, and yes. But the variants team is quite small and overworked, so progress is slow. Hopefully this will change with the new variants community series, but I doubt it.
