why is this a stalemate?
That isn't. But that's also not a position in a game that completed with that position and was ended as stalemate

I was trying to report this issue in the bug report chat bot, but instead it's just saying "Oh you're talking about puzzles????!?!?!?!!! WHAT A GREAT WAY TO IMPROVE!!!" Sooo that's not helping
Pretty much the issue I'm facing right now is that I have a really high puzzle rating (I was 4000 but reset my rating to see if it would resolve this bug, it did not) and what's happening is that I'm just... Not getting puzzles rated past 1600, even though I'm currently 3200. I reset the rating to 800 on saturday and have done 930 puzzles since then, and I've only received 2 puzzles rated above 1600, both in the 2200 group, which is still quite low for 3200. I don't quite understand this issue but even raising the difficulty setting doesn't do anything. This bug allows for a lot of rating farming for the lucky (or, unlucky) people that have it and I wanted to know if anyone has a way to fix it as it's quite unfair and is unbalancing a lot. One more note, this is also making lower rated people go down even more, as even at 800 I was still playing 1300-1600 rated puzzles.
Here's a screenshot with a couple examples of what's going on, the bottom puzzle there was actually proper for some reason.
The site is in the process of updating the puzzle system. All puzzles have been re-rated on the backend and the puzzle selection algorithm is using the updated ratings. However, the UI is still showing the old ones.
There's work being done to show the updated ratings in the UI
As part of using the new ratings, the site also added a puzzle Difficulty setting. You might try changing to Hard or Extra Hard which may improve selection somewhat.
Until all changes are complete, the puzzle selection may look similar to that.
i appreciate the help, just saw this
Why are the squares covering the kings? Is it like the previous ones; the cache proplem?
