Is it when you are accepting someone else's open challenge, because tends to mean that although no-one had accepted it when you first looked at it, by the time you clicked accept, someone else had already accepted it. Does that make sense, I can't think of any other way to explain it.
Challenge canceled by the server

Tks for your reply but in fact it's happens when I click for opening a new challenge, usually of 30 minuts. It's the first time this happened in the last two weeks.

Me too, I also can still use the online play, to keep it fresh i think you should play with lots of people at once, it would feel like a live game anyway

I love y'all's chess app, it's great! The only problem it's given me, is the on occasion it won't let me play online with an opponent. It says "challenge canceled" and puts me back in the lobby area... It sucks and ticks me off. I know perfection is hard! But I believe in y'all! Thank you.

I am getting the same promlem continuously. Also i get disconnected from the game so often although i have a good internet connection. I think chess.com servers are not capable to hold the load anymore. They need to upgrade their servers. It is disturbing. I got annoyed already from this aplication.
Hi, could anyone explain me because recently when I start a challenge I receive this answer? Tks in advance and sorry if ther'is yet a response, I've not found it.
