Don't sweat it I was typing and it booted me to the menu...
Challenges being sent without permission
Sort:
If you click the "enter" button right after a game is finished it will auto send out a challenge, this is probably what is causing you to have a second challenge being sent out by the server.
For example if you were to say "gg" then hit "enter" without actually clicking the game chat box, the enter button is auto assigned to send out a game seek.
Hopefully that makes sense, but if you need any more information on this, please let me know.
crag9, if your seek isn't accepted after a certain period of time it will be cancelled by the server. What are your seek parameters?
Thanks Kansha,
i'll keep an eye out and ensure when chatting post game that i click the game chat box.. not sure that is the full reason as we were in the middle of chatting when it happened the most recent time so the chat box would/should have been active but i will continue to watch and be careful.
Thanks, Dean
What is happening with the chess.com live server?
Many people from the Dan Heisman Learning Center have experienced this over the past couple of weeks. We notice it because we play 45|45 games or 90|30 time controls and often analyse post game.
Someone complained to me last week that this happened after their game and my 90+30 opponent from last weekend said the same thing but it seems after my game today i sent a challenge (which i never) for an opponent rated between 250+/- my rating...
This also stops us analysing our games with our opponent afterwards (a process which we encourage over at DHLC and which i value)
Why are there numerous accounts of this happening lately where challenges are being issued post game without our doing so?
