A 2450+ anon 4pc game I was winning just disappeared from the view and doesn't appear on the archive and my rating wasn't updated when we got to the end of the game; what happened?
Did it freeze or end by a timeout with a bare king?
Timeout with three bare kings; how'd you know?

It's happened to me as well lol. I don't think the system knows how to deal with the two remaining players having no pieces.
My chess.com just disconnects every 5sec
I can't challenge a specific friend to any variant.
I'll start typing their name into the box but before I finish the name it autocompletes with a different yet similar name. I copypasted their name into the name field and started the challenge, but instead it started a challenge against random.
I've been playing against this player for a few months in normal chess and Chess960, and thought it might be fun to move to variants.... but I can't send them the challenge.

Send this link to your friend: https://www.chess.com/variants
The reason that copypasting didn't work is because the variants server does not recognize players who have never connected to it. Once your friend has connected for the first time, the name will appear, but keep in mind that you can only challenge players that have at least one tab open to a chess.com/variants page. Otherwise you will get a message saying that this player is not connected to the variants server.
But until your friend goes to a chess.com/variants page for the first time, the name will not show up at all.
I hope this helps.
I was watching a game where royal pieces were not kings (link), and strangely, when Green resigned, the wrong piece remained alive:
Also, the bare-piece rule causes the game to freeze when there are more than 2 Players because it resigns a player again and again. This is why one of my testing games for a new variant, #67559003, disappeared from the server. (I don’t have a picture or a link for this bug.)

That's because of Takeover. In takeover, pawns die, so the dead-king-walking piece is determined by the remaining non-pawn pieces. So this is just an edge case (should be taken into account and fixed I think).

Yeah, i reported the same bug a couple months back. i dont think they plan on fixing it.
I have seen this unreported bug for a long time: When I click the archive button on a tournament, no games appear, and it shows an error message that said "archive search timed out." I have to check one of the contestants' profiles for the game.
Was waiting in a 4PC queue with my friends when I got kicked from the queue when the game started when i didn’t click anything
Bug Report
While playing the variant Spell Chess, my opponent was able to castle his king even though my knight had his king in check. My opponent used a freeze spell on the attacking knight and was then able to castle his king from a checked square to an unchecked square. Regardless of a spell's affect a checked king should never be able to castle.

If a piece is frozen its check is cancelled. A similar example would be taking a defended piece with a king in Duck Chess by blocking off its defender.
Not a bug
For some reason, when I play four player chess, a ? appears next to my rating and despite playing about 3 games of four player chess, I haven't unlocked the achievement for playing a four player chess game.
To see your ranking in a given variant, you must have played at least 20 games.
Why is this a draw by insufficient material??

Because black cannot force a checkmate and there is no way for him to ever. The white player just has to not be stupid.
