weird bug

Sort:

Hi. My name is David Berke (berkeslaw), and I have been a happy member for about a year.
In my Daily game against a brand new member, segoudukuduk, there is a glitch in the game which is bound to create bizarre results. Thus, when my opponent makes a move, it appears on "my" side of the board (White). Trouble is, I NEVER MADE THAT MOVE. When I try to make a different move, or even try to move a black piece, nothing happens. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking down to 23 hours, and I don't know if I am going to "win" or "lose" on time.
I have messaged the gentlemen twice, explaining the problem, suggesting that we call the game a Draw, and start again. No response. Either he doesn't trust me, or understand me (he's from Belarus). Meanwhile, the game just chugs along, presumably to a bizarre conclusion. I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE points to a glitch.
Please help.

That member has closed their account. You'll win the game on time.

Link to the game. I have a hard time understanding what you mean.

Yes when his time expires you get the win.

Hi, thanks all. When you win on time, do you collect the points? Yesterday someone gave up after making his first move, and my score did not change an iota. Shouldn't you gain for an abandoned game?

That depends. Game less then 4 moves in Daily aren't rated. In tournaments, they might be but I haven't played in a while.
