It's the same exact topic actually. You call them 'icons', someone call them 'flower things', I call them 'banana stickers'. However we are all speaking about the same thing and it would be better to group all comments in the same forum thread: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/random-flower-things
The Bug Thread
Sort:
I just call it the "royal indicator". Here's how it (doesn't) work.
- Supposedly, it marks which piece for each player is "royal" and must be protected.
- As Black, both indicators are upside-down.
- As Black, both indicators are on the exact opposite position as the royal piece (e.g. d1 for e8)
- As a spectator, neither indicator moves with the piece, unless you attempt to manipulate it.

So its not a bug then?
It’s a feature that bugged out

I would love if the Gothic Chess notation, both on the panel in-game and in downloads, was fixed.
What is wrong actually with the Gothic Chess notation ?
EDIT: Ah yes, now I see: rows go from 4 to 11, rather than 1 to 8, while files go from c to l, rather than a to j. Why's that? It's so weird. It doesn't look like a bug though, seems intentional to me.
It’s literally just above you, go read those comments about it

@Eragon04 = Ah yes thanks! Now I see the sense of it.
Not much sense really but still there's a sort of reason that seems logical.
EDIT: as the page changed I'll re-post your image here:
We keep having that annoying knight bug in Chaturanga games. One party wins the game and the system says 'draw game'. See example: https://www.chess.com/variants/chaturanga/game/19632496
I do really hope something can be done to fix it. Thanks.
Check the settings, there is one for "Pieces face center". Or just hit Q on your keyboard. You can also turn off keyboard shortcuts in the settings.
Variants just randomly disconnects during game. Problem is not on my end.
Buenas tardes. He bloqueado a un usuario y después me ha vuelto a aparecer en una partida. He cancelado. Ha vuelto a salirme ese usuario bloqueado. He vuelto a cancelar y, entonces, Chess.com me banea durante dos minutos por cancelar demasiadas partidas. Esto es un bug. NO DEBE APARCERME UN USUARIO BLOQUEADO. Gracias.

Yeah, I know *why* it is as it is, but it's still wrong.

I agree, this happens all the time, and to everyone (as far as I can tell). For me it's usually fine for a few games, then around the fourth or fifth game it starts being an issue every single game. More often that not, it's why I stop playing. Seriously affects the experience of playing.
Personally I stopped <paying> because there is an annoying bug/mistake in Chaturanga rules and no staff cares. No wonder how many reports and how much we ask for a fix, they'll never reply to us and this is extremely unpolite.
Then I also stopped <playing> because I realized that new annoying bugs are added almost every week in order to make sure we lost the pleasure of playing. So, for this reason I'm not aware of the last 'bug of the week'. However I trust the description given above.
Here it's like this: just 'play-n-pay and shut up'...
Eventually I can suggest other websites for those who are interested:
-- www.pychess.org this is a well-known one and many Chess variants are there (but Shatranj unfortunately);
-- www.iggamecenter.com maaany strategy games and variants but really few users (there is Shatranj and that's where I started playing it);
-- https://gameknot.com an excellent website of correspondence Chess only;
-- www.schemingmind.com correspondence Chess and variants, many are there like Crazyhouse, Atomic, Makruk, Shatranj, Alice, Upside-down and others... Tournaments are run regularly.
Hello, since a few days te fog of war interface behaves like in the attached picture for me. It is rather annoying and I have lost already some games as it is very easy to mess up a light square for a dark square when the board is half yellow at the end of the game. Browser is chrome if it may be importatnt. Thanks to anyone willing to look into it,
edit: another issue is that board annotations (circles and arrows) are erased at each move

Weird bugged game on test server

Fog Of War seems to have a strange icon connected to my king. Somtimes it is on the peice other times it is a number of squares away - but it rotates opposite to my king when I move my king, Not sure what it is for but it is really distracting...
That's in ALL variants, read and comment here, please: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/random-flower-things
Thanks for that.
A short and pointless detour from the topic I raised.
