@JKCheeseChess: Just reload the page, the missing image should load on the second try.

@AdamBashaBasbousa: Not a bug. We don't allow players to fix games with invited players if it's going to be rated.

can somone help me??????

If your game freezes, close the window, wait 5 minutes, then reopen 4PC.

can we have full cycle or first to mate mechanics?? . now i just used checkmate for explaining  better n below link but main purpose is for variants . if there are different rules of variants example checkmate , king of hill and 3 check etc then how you will decide who going to win it who first do any of those that  will . most common approach. now  like king of hill and 3 check others variants give immediate wins where as checkmate need to wait half cycle incomplete cycle . where as ctk need to wait full cycle .  since we can not do immediate because partner  applying full cycle to every where seem to be fit right even on checkmate.

solution is simply since it is clockwise if only  so if player next to him  is mate  clockwise example blue mate yellow  then everyone turn will pass just make sure if player before him did any  mate or 3 check same for varaint will go . and will end  on blue turn 

in short will route one full cycle  with hold position who just got immediate win.  if its any variant or checkmate

guys i discovered a new buG

When you premove a different move at the exact same time it is your turn, you get this buG.

Question for @spacebar:

I saw that WCM @canary2016 started with a Glicko RD of ~150, was this intentional or not, and if so, does this apply to all masters?

That was the original setting for new accounts, back in the day where the initial ratings were 1200 instead of 1500. When 4PC adopted Glicko-2, all new accounts created past that date had ratings initialised at 1500 and RDs of 120. Additionally, all old accounts were given a free 300 points to account for the change. However, the old-initialised RD values which had been set at 150 were not changed in a similar fashion, so RDs initialised at 150 are actually quite common.

Thanks! That'll be useful when I time travel back to 2017 to take down icystun...

Good morning

Game 10985795

It was only 5 moves into the game and something went wrong.  I had made my move and the move was shown on my screen has made and my time was frozen.  Yet after I had made the move it was saying it was my move still.  I was able to chat and the others seemed to see my time ticking away and read my chat and I could see theirs.  Shorting after I was timed out.

Please if you can adjust my points I would appreciate it.  Thanks

Second game in a row the game froze up on me

Game 10986892

This game went about 25 moves and it was the player across from me whose move it was when his time sat at one minute and his time was lit and nothing was happening.

What is going on?  I will not play any more until I learn that this bug has been addressed

@LuckyDChess it's just a connection issue on the player's side. If you refresh the page, the issue should be resolved.

Thank you grable

There are arguments both logical and mathematically correct for this situation:

https://www.chess.com/4-player-chess?g=11049593

As you can see Yellow (1258) and Green (1493) got +9.2 and +10 respectively. Because they 3-way tied with Red (2100) for 2nd and only lost to Blue (2710). 

But they got 0 pts in the game. This means they did absolutely nothing. Not even a pawn taken.

There will be loopholes and counterarguments, but this feels wrong...

Nothing has changed for a very long time. We do however recommend Firefox or Chrome over Safari, I suggest you give it a try with one of those browsers.

I'm unable to get into any 4 player game...I get the message "Connecting" or the wheel keeps on spinning..After 4/5 refreshes I could get in the game but the game would randomly disconnect and I am eventually out of time.. This is happening since yesterday after I updated my browser...

I'm using Firefox on a Ubuntu system if that matters.

Also My internet is perfect cause I'm able to play 2 player chess..

Soooo, I can't invite comfuters to my private game. I recently changed my mouse speed, and I kept on losing games because I did (this is quickthrone btw), so I wanted to practice just getting used to the new speed. I can invite randos, but not comfuters for some reason. This is probably just a temporary thing, but still. I thought about posting a new forum, but it doesn't matter that much, just a bit annoying.

hmm, ok. thx ig

New Standard paired with KOTH, Takeover, Ghostboard, etc. still results in a standard rated queue (probably due to how the server recognizes the rating types in NCPs)...

I couldn't move, and it seems my opponents couldn't either, only the red player could move during the whole game. First was the yellow player, then the green one, and last me. 

I just found a bug.

When you play an anonymous game, and you click on one of the blank avatars of the people you're playing with, it takes you to the member page for @Anonymous, who is an actual member who got closed for fair play violation XD
