game update failed
Agreed! I have never had a problem with the app - I uninstalled it and reinstalled it on my iPhone but with the same result of "Game update failed". Luckily I have a computer - not as practical.
Can you get to a PC or other type of device?
My game updates are also failing. I noticed there was an app update yesterday. Could this be the problem?

I didn't notice an update. Though if there was one, you're spot on. Definitely some sort of bug impacting things.
This clearly is something on the server side and not on the app relating to commands to refresh and update a game's moves in the app. I see lots of threads on this problem today. I hope someone has contacted membersupport@chess.com and explained the issue in an email?
In the interim just access chess.com using a mobile web browser -Safari or Chrome
This should only be impacting iOS. Developers are being engaged.
As mentioned by @flashlight002, a mobile browser is a workaround until fixed, if you are low on time on any games.
