They just kept moving their knights back and forth

if that happens the black knight would be at the 6th rank since white only moved once

yes, sadly this was a human error   If you don't want to play the match you can simply resign. Since its less than 4 moves it won't affect rating.

Thank you JD. I told everyone if they don’t wish to play, then please resign if under 4 moves.

It's not a bug.  The admin who created the challenge set up the FEN wrong.  Simply moving the pawn to b3 wasn't enough; you also have to specify that it's black's move.

The match can't be aborted once it's started, I believe.  However, since it's the same for both players and everyone plays both colours, it is fair.  Not ideal, but it can still be an interesting match.
