Hi guys,
This is my first time posting here, so please forgive me for any etiquette violations regarding this forum - I tried my best.
I just wanted your opinions on whether the player in the video belowwas cheating/hacking. During play, whenever he seemed like he was unhappy with his position, he flipped all the pieces back (on my screen at least) when it was my turn, rendering me unable to play anything, and causing me to appear to take an entire minute for a move (when it reset at last). I recorded it the second time it happened, where I tried to click on the most recent move in case it was a bug or something with the website (I didn't do this the first time). I checked to make sure I wasn't holding down any keyboard buttons, and I got suspicious as I had never seen anything happen like this on the website before. Please let me know if the video does not work, and sorry for the music in the background.
Thank you!
P.S I somehow still managed to win on time - go figure.
That file is on your local computer; you can only embed things hosted on other sites, not upload videos.
Just based on the description, it sounds like you were having connection issues to the Live server. The clients never directly connect, so your opponent can't impact your connection or cause resets.
