Hi, I played a couple of standard games and all was fine. Then tried 960 and after that I can't start any standard games. All become 960. A glitch or what? Do I need to reinstall? Happened to anyone else?

erik

on the website? or an app? or... more info please! thanks!

Maybe try sending your next seek from this page and seeing if that helps?

Sorry, I thought it was clear that i meant the app. Can I send request from the site and also have it appear in the app?

erik

which app? facebook app? iphone app? ipad app? android app?

Yes, it's all the same games. :)

I've tested this a couple of times on my Nexus 7, and so far can't reproduce it. After creating open challenge for a 960 game, all controls seem to default back to Standard the next time I create a challenge.

This isn't a rematch request is it?

Anyway, can you outline exactly how you're sending these new challenges that always end up being 960 against your wishes? Many thanks!

I was doing to requests on the app. Just regular play and then find and start game. But I tried one of the suggestions, the one about starting a game through the chess.Com site and it worked. Seems it's a glitch with the app for me. Gonna reinstall and hopefully that will fix it.

Good choice!  A reinstall is a good solution.  We also have released a new update with some good fixes :)
