oponant controling my moves

Sort:
coyotebb

has anyone else been in the situation usually in the end game where you try to move a piece and it drops where you don't want it to. Not just where I don't want it to but exactly the best spot possible for the opponant.  I am seeing this a lot lately and I fear it is some form of cheating.  There must be a way the opponant is affecting my ability to move.  Please let me know.

That's simply not possible.  If you sincerely think this is happening, perhaps you should talk to a friend.  Ask them if you seem OK and if they suggest you get some counseling, please follow their advice.  It's been a tough winter; there's no shame in coming a little unraveled, but get some help if these feelings of persecution continue.  If you get help now, maybe you won't find yourself on the street surrounded by police and some guy in a suit reading to you from a legal document.  Psych wards aren't much fun, believe me.

Begin with allowing chat so u can convey ur anxieties to ur opponent.

dude

its called a MOUSE slip. and it has NOTHING to do with the opponent.

 

you should NOT touch a peice until you are entirely sure where you want to move the peice.

OR perhaps.... you need to recalibrate your mouse.

 

this is all possible- but don't blame the opponents- they had nothing to do with it...

"Opponent" "is"

No, you guys are wrong - I think the OP is onto something. It's very possible that the Chess.com programmers have been successful in borrowing the algorithms used by the "claw crane" arcade game:

and transferring the algorithms to the Chess.com interface. Admittedly, no quarters are being stolen from the game players, but it does help to keep the players in a state of confusion (a condition necessary to guarantee that the players don't notice the plethora of other bugs on the site.)
