Bug Reports

Yeah I don't play fog of war. What you're stating is the updates have jacked other's ratings because the bugs since last update?

In fog of war there are still bugs, so many bugs. Please just revert it to before the update. Why won't you just revert?? Everything is buggy on the touch screen, you move one piece another piece moves, you try to castle the rook moves, you try to premove, nothing. Also I can still see an opponent's piece when they take my piece (for a split second) when I should not be able to see it. I think it's because you've got an animation in there that moves the piece across which you've now turned off but there's maybe be some kind of OBO error where the last frame in the animation is still shown. Just please revert it to before the update. It was perfect before. At least explain why you won't revert it. Just knowing that there's a good reason would make the inability to use the site less frustrating.

mianly because your devices are potato quality? like fr i have the potatoist pc but still works this webiste is more for a computer because of all the annoying things mobile players have to deal with just use a damn pc

there is a time exploit that is even though the time is reached 0, still it doesn't let us win its just keeps on and on without stopping

polargeist is a great song tbh

Why did my opponent (white) win in this casePGN:

there is already a post about this mentioning its a jump bug because the player who receives the points is the with the last move, the post's name is "king kong checkmate"

The issue with controlling pieces when using iPad is still not resolved. It’s very difficult to select the piece you want to move and then put it on the square you want to put it on. Can this be resolved please.

we were "capturing" empty squares whicharent even our pieces but we can see them for some reason and we cant even move!!! the error message says that it could not read the fen i think i know why the error message said Rc3Xub3 traslates to rook c3 takes U (a piece) on b3 which sounds like a 5 year old thank you for your time also shouldve mentioned played in fog of wa

quelle MAJ de merde avez-vous ajouté ?? impossible de jouer avec un ipad

I am confused as to why this is checkmate for black? Is it a bug?

quelle MAJ de merde avez-vous ajouté ?? impossible de jouer avec un ipad

I appreciate the content as it is correct, just wish it could  be resolved 

https://www.chess.com/variants/spell-chess/game/54195406/71/3

I had a freeze spell available, yet the game called white's move checkmate. I don't understand... This must be a glitch, right?

Wow, I came here to complain about how you checkmated me like this too hahaha!

This was given as checkmate for black, when white is about to win

C’est toujours de la merde

Spell chess bug?

https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/54265555/95/3

My opponent freezes my king while moving his own king next to mine. I should have been able to counter freeze his king while moving my rook to attack it, but the game ends in checkmate?

This bug has been reported several times already

The fix is coming out on Monday.

Three spell-chess bugs:

(1) Impossible double-skip:
I encountered the bug in this game, move #17: https://www.chess.com/variants/spell-chess/game/54237343/32/1

Clearly I (white) should be able to skip-spell the black queen and take the black king, since king-capture trumps check. However, the logic did not let me move my queen, possibly because it thinks it is pinned, or due to the double-check that will result, so I had to resort to playing-on.

One can verify in analysis that a double skip is possible, for example by:
"1. jump@h2 a3 jump@h7 Rxh1" where indeed the rook captures the other rook.

(2) Castling bugs:

I opened this thread before realizing there is a global bugs-thread: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/spell-chess-castling-bugs

Basically, there is an issue with skip while long castling, and also castling is possible with a frozen rook.

(3) King-freeze-mate:
I encountered it many times already (even lost the above game this way), and I know it has already been reported. Just in case it helps, it does not seem to always happen when a king comes near the other king while freezing it. To clarify, consider the following two games (steroids-bongcloud): "1. e4 e5 2. Ke2 Ke7 3. Kf3 Kf6 4. Kg4 [...]". Playing "freeze@f4 Kf5" wins, but "freeze@f4 Kg5" doesn't. The difference has to do something with the white bishop on c1, if we delay the end by moving it, say, to a3, "freeze@g4 Kg5" is also a victory for black.

Final note:
With all of these bugs (1+3), since this is a variant, maybe it would be simpler to just define the game to end with a king capture (as in some variants) instead of checkmate, and allow illegal moves? Sure, it will enable silly blunders, but as it is right now, one can still forget that the opponent can simply use a jump spell over a piece and lose immediately, the logic doesn't show it as being checked.
