Hi. I'm not concerned with ratings or anything like that.

I was logged out and playing as a guest just for fun, when suddenly, in the middle of a game, my pieces started to move by themselves. This was very weird. In fact, "I" won the game without ever touching my trackpad or keyboard again.

I'm a bit paranoid and started to think I might have some malware or have been hacked, but why would an attacker start playing (pretty good) chess in my own machine in the middle of a game?

Is this a possible issue with chess.com?

Link to the game? Though I'm not sure how long guest games are stored.

I was dumb and didn’t keep the game ID/link… :(
I guess I’m just wondering if the computer can take over somehow.
It was really really weird.

That certainly shouldn't happen.
