Why does it say "custom position" in game for me?

Which game was this?

It's for all my games actually now, before it'd show like starting positions, now every game just says that no matter what

Are you seeking white only or black only?

Once there are moves, it isn’t the starting position anymore. So, it’s like you and your opponent changed the position my moving and turned custom. And it is not a particular opening, so it says custom position, there you go! Hope this helps. And if I’m wrong just correct me 😑

Cute Elli Zhu, no, I have that too, it does that even for Caro Khann or Italian

Maybe you started with(out) a/an (extra) piece at the start. Also, are you actually North Korean…? ummmm

I also have this problem. The opening explorer has broken for me, idk why.

Same problem here.

Avatar of yoshimaroon1

yeah, I have the same problem as well. What I though is maybe they are trying to hide opening name so as to prevent people from knowing their position are still in theory?? I'm so confused

Lol.... This site has gotten complacent thinking it's the only platform for CHESS chess... I probably won't even play games here anymore how bad it is. I'm just a normie, and if that's my sentiment, they've already lost a lot of the even more-normal normies

This happened to me just now as well. Completely standard game. I was black, if that's important.

Has been happening more and more lately. Not all the time, but more often than not.

This devalues the experience a lot.
