I was challenged to a rematch instantly after winning a 960 game. No sooner had I accepted the rematch than I lost the new game by checkmate. Confused, I saw that my opponent had set up a lost position for black where it was mate in one for white. The position is shown in the pgn below. My question is how was this possible? How was 'he' able to set up the position so quickly? The rematch offer was instant. And, therefore, if this is possible without somehow hacking the site, it must be regarded as a fatal flaw that needs patching. Oh, and can I have my points back please?
They did not rematch you in 960. They sent a separate game request from a custom position, and it was unrated (https://www.chess.com/game/live/112723797065?username=bananachess20). All custom position games are unrated.
I always chuckle at the typical chess paranoia when the first assumption is "hacking the site".
