When will Fog of War be fixed?

In spell chess, I took the queen but it then froze my game. It might have been because I was in duck chess but I don't know.

I noticed a bug in Fog of War Chess when I have the game in fullscreen sometimes I can see the other players moves when I use the forward/backward moves key (left/right arrows) Using Brave browser

With FOW I was on 2600 (rapid). I won a game and now I am on 2599. When I click on my name I still have 2600 but not in the rankings. It happened before recently. Is this another bug?

The issue with selecting pieces on iPad is still happening. I feel like this is not being looked into in spite of multiple times I have raised it

Disabling the chat does not work. Check out this game: https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-chess/game/54455167 I disabled chat twice and it even says that it is disabled but people are still able to post messages

This is what happens when I play on my phone. It's difficult to play a move on the h-file (or a-file when playing with black). Can the block with the draw- and resign buttons a bit more to the right? Another problem is that I often play an other piece to a square that I want. It never happened before the 'update'. There is something not working properly when moving my pieces.

Spell chess, king-freeze bug 2.0:

Consider the following game:
1. f4 e6
2. Kf2 Ke7
3. Kg3 Kf6
4. freeze@b4 Kg4 [...]

Black should be able to play "4... freeze@e3 Kf5++", because white's freeze is in cooldown and no piece can capture the king on f5 (or on g6). However, it is impossible to play.

To emphasize the issue, note that black is allowed to play "4... freeze@e3 Ke5" only to put itself under the thread of a frozen pawn (compared to a frozen king).

I suspect that whoever fixed the king-freeze-mate bug did so by disallowing the kings to come near each other, but with freeze logic they should be able to do so in some cases. The actual use case is an end-game where one player has 1 freeze and the other has 0. The 1 freeze should win in this way, even if all that is left are K v K.

[Edited: actually the case of K v K is not a good example, because freezing the king leads to a stalemate. So assume that the 0-freeze player has more pieces.]

some times it zoom in weird but it might be a button i push or something.

It is not just full screen, it is regular screen, on Google Chrome, on Firefox too

Not only can you see what piece the player moves if it ends up touching one of yours (like something moves in the square in front of one of your pawns for example)

BUt you can also see a yellow movement, of theirs, from one square to another, so you know they moved a piece from a particular square to another particular square and sometimes that is information you shouldn't have - Otherwise it is not FOW any more.... also they can by definition see the same things you are doing

No they should not. Kings cannot be placed adjacent to each other unless it's Capture the King. This was blocked intentionally.

No, he means go into your archive on the Variants website and find the exact game you took the screenshot from, then copy its link here.

Nope. The link of the game is here. https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/54885753/27/1. It also happened in one other game. And yes it's a bug.
