I have the same problem. It’s really frustrating, and I hope chess.com can do something about it
puzzle battle bugs

What I do now is to restart the app after every battle, it takes less to find an opponent, that's on Android on the web works better

Game finds opponent and starts like normal, but never counts completed puzzles for either player. Solved 18 in the time limit, but final score was 0-0.

i have the same problem!

I've discovered that if you exit the app without quitting the battle and you start the app and go back to the battle then starts normally, hope this works for others too
I’ve been facing 2 reoccurring problems:
1. Sometimes when I play puzzle battle the app crashes, and I lose points for no reason & cannot okay another game. That’s unfair.
2. Whenever I click on “play” puzzle battle, after I re-enter the app after it crashed, it counts as if I played puzzle battle. Today, for example, I allegedly “used” all my subscription’s puzzle battle attempts- but in reality I just tried to play once, the app crashed, and then clicked 4 times on “play” while the other game was, allegedly, still happening.
These are seriously annoying bugs. I’d like a fair game & to get all the puzzles I paid for. Please fix them. Thanks.
