Game Start Glitch

Avatar of rehamnivek29

Hi—for the past week when I start new games my board is flipped around, with my opponents starting pieces on my side of the board, and I can't move any pieces. My games time down and is then reported abandoned. I am refreshing my page, logging in and out of chess.com, and making sure my connection is secure. My score has plummeted and I've now received a restriction on new games for unsportsmanlike conduct for repeated abandonments. Are others experiencing this too?

Check your gameplay settings and make sure you don't have White always on bottom enabled.
