Autoclaim works on both ffa/solo

WHY you chatbanned 

I hope Martin or maybe Hest will look into this.

This is definitely not the place to put this, but who coded this in?

Look in game chat. Has happened a few times already.

@spacebar most likely

I know @spacebar is the coder, but this is either a coincidence or something, I'll just wait for an admin's answer

The testbots were designed to make testing fun and easy. And I had fun making them too of course.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/casual
if (this.game.numObservers && p(2)) this.chat(['ey', 'sup', 'ey', 'miss', 'ey', 'sir', 'ey', 'sup', casual.name_prefix, 'i dont like you today', casual.name_prefix, casual.name_prefix][rd(12)] + ' ' + observers[rd(this.game.numObservers)].username.substr(0, 4 + rd(7)) + ['insky', 'ster', '#%!?', 'ousky'][rd(4)]) + casual.name_suffix

if (this.game.humanTeammate && this.game.isGameStart ) this.chat('forgive me if i wont listen to you.. ', true)

etc. p(N) means N% and rd(N) mean random number between 0 and N

>11 bugs
For a year now nothing has been done for 4PC, except the most urgent/serious bugs.
In a month or two, 4PC will get turned off, and we are moving to chess.com/variants (which is just 4PC 2.0 really. And there will be plenty of new and old bugs to find and fix in variants.
Variants is almost ready, missing are the tournaments, and edit position. Once those get released it will be time to move.

on the day 4PC crashed a month or two ago, we had people play on variants. here's a game from that day https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/14310567/95/1

Wow that’s some cool coding

On the 4 player chess game the three lines in the top left corner do not work.  When I click on them it does not see the click so I can't get to the home page.

sabia não

why the heck did I include a link to explain what casual is?

did you read this? https://www.npmjs.com/package/casual  did you see i posted this above? if not, why not? and if you did read it, is it not clear somehow?

I should not be able to join more than 3 queues.

I join 3 games, i cannot click more, but if someone invites me i can accept and i am in 4 queues. It is cool, but think a cool bug

Does that even matter to you?

And I quote: 

Known bugs:
(please don't report unless you can explain exactly under what circumstances it happens.)

- occasionally board doesn't rotate until it's your turn. (you can rotate the board anytime manually, icon in top right corner)

 - occasionally unable to move. (reloading the window should fix it)

 - occasionally wrong teammate in game (are you sure you clicked 'Invite' and not 'Play again'?)

I hit the refresh button and the screen reloads but I never get to move a piece.  Is there a work around for this?

@Joski-Ko

Same. 

Really irritating in Hyperbullet to lose half a second on 1st move because premove doesn't work.

Sometimes board is rotated in wrong direction until your turn which is confusing

Sorry I should have cut out the part I am talking about.  Its when your unable to move.

Bug: Pusher-type Zombies are only forced to push regular pawns, they don't necessarily have to push fairy pawns.

Move 2r: Red (Pusher-type Zombie) moved the general instead of the fairy pawns.

Hi there.

I cannot find a button "to claim a win within a four-player-chess-game". There's also no hint about it within the rules.

But still my competitor managed to do this although I had more pieces... how is this possible?

Cheers
