Its an option on the game, and I thought about that, but I still would have had to make ANOTHER bonehead move straight after my first one to lose my Bishop as well. Maybe his moves were set as conditional, but mine certainly weren't.And I wouldn't have entered these moves in as conditional anyway.
Frankly, its as if someone logged into my account and moved for me. Thats why I want to see when the moves were made.
I was considering whether you may have left your PC logged in to chess.com and your cat walked across the keyboard - but moves have to be made using the mouse.
Presumably you were not using the iPhone interface? (I'm told that the restricted view of the board can lead to more move mistakes.)
Does anyone else have physical access to your PC?
Does anyone else know your chess.com account password? Or, do you use the browser option 'remember this password' when you previously accessed chess.com?
IF i had made the moves, i would have remembered it and been kicking myself I'm pretty sure. And yes, as I said, I sometimes do make stupid moves. But the reason I'm posting is that I was away for three days and I'm pretty sure they were made when I wasn't here. TWO stupid moves in a row is excessive even for me......anyway, thanks for your help. Not being able to see when they were made is annoying because really, now I'm not sure if my account is secure......
I am also having trouble. Last night I made a move with my Bishop which put my opponent's King on Check. Today when I logged on, my opponent Moved the Queen , Killed my Bishop, and even moved it's horse............. how did that happen? And No, I dont leave my computer on, No one has access to my account.
But.. would Conditional Moves, actually put into action the moves you actually apply ON "Conditional Moves"? ...I mean, it would make sense going by what "Conditional" implies.. but still.. I believe it is rediculous if it is so.
If I may make some observations:-
Assuming that the game in question was this one: http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=40166564
The mistake Black made was actually 59...Nf6?, after which 60. Bd4 would win at least a piece anyway (Black had 2 pieces en prise).
I would like to surmise that when you were considering the position after 60. Bd4, you realise that you must lose either the Kt or the B. Then, you thought that 60...f4 and if 61. Bxf6, Black could play ...e3 followed by ...e2 and Black queened the pawn.
Problem was >>> you were looking at the position on move 60 (!) and analyzed ahead. Most likely, you played 60...f4 and made "Conditional Move" of 61.Bxf6 e3, assuming that if White took the Kt, then Black would win easily. Again, you likely analyzed that White Knight could not move to e2 as ...Kf3 would win, nor could the Knight take bishop on d5 as ...e2 would queen. Aslo, 62.Bd4 could not stop the pawn after ...Kf3
Then, after you came back after 3 days, White already played 61.Bxf6 e3 62.Nxd5. This happened to all players, especially OTB (over-the-board) games, when we analyze the current position 3-4 moves (for amateurs) ahead in our mind, we forget that some squares will have been empty in the look-ahead positions. Some chess-trainers called this "Ghost image" (cute name!).
In this case, you missed that after the Knight on c3 moved (capture the Bishop or move to e2), the square c3 would have been empty; and White could play Bc3.
>>>>>>>>>> I am almost certain that you did not use "Analysis Board", which would have avoided this kind of "ghost image" <<<<<<<<<<<<
Is there any way that we can see the date our moves were made? I ask because I have just returned from 3 days away (my game is once every 5 days, not set for 'vacation') and have lost two major pieces in a game I was winning easily.
I was in the end game, clearly ahead by 4 pawns and just finishing things off when I left. But when I logged in after returning home yesterday I had lost a knight and a bishop, according to my game log, by just leaving them there to get slaughtered.
I am playing a lot of games at the same time,so sometimes there are moves I make that I don't remember making. And I am guilty of mistakes as we all are. But frankly, the moves I supposedly made were utterly ridiculous. I certainly don't remember making them and would have sat down and taken stock of the game after the first stupid move, let alone made another one!
So I want to see if the moves were made when I wasn't there by someone else or if I am just going crazy. Is there any way to do this?
