Started daily game with a missing piece

I thought it was just temporarily invisible, and would reappear. But after 2nd move score shows my opponent actually captured that Bishop, a 10x physical impossibility.  I did my first "Bug Report" ever about 6 this morning Central Time, but wondered if anyone else having similar probs?

It was an unrated game with a custom position.

This one gave your opponent an extra bishop.

You can do that in unrated games.

I assume that some information about that custom setup situation was supplied before you signed up for the game.

Okay, thanks very much @justbefair , I had no idea this was possible. Is this shown in invitation to play? I don't recall seeing it.

I don't know. I don't play daily chess.

Thanks again for your help @justbefair, just glad to know it wasn't a glitch and sorry for filing unnecessary Bug Report.
