Why does it say I am playing myself?

Chess.com currently claims that I am playing a game against myself, but it won't let me get rid of it. Anyone know what's happening or how to fix it?

There was a bug introduced that caused some issues. That has since been rolled back. However, it appears any Daily moves made during the bug did not update the database, so you got the alert but the move was not made. So you should check your games to be sure any moves you made went through.

 

As far as I'm aware, it wasn't just beta related, but site wide.

Thank you for the explanation. So whenever my opponent in that game moves and then I move again, the problem will be fixed?

 

Also, I can confirm it isn't beta related, because I am not in beta.

I'm not 100% certain, since I haven't played daily in a long time, but I think when the moves are made, it should update.

Same with me, the only game I was confident about winning.
