    Any change that we can spectate a game while we wait for a game to be accepted?

    This should be possible. On the TODO.

    I'm having several people unable to see the first move made.

    I'll investigate this tomorrow - my guess is you can fire off a first move before the other person has connected properly - which might explain this.

    Thank you! And one more thing.



    This game should be a draw. White ran out of time, but I ( black ) have no mating material ( or any material for that matter ).

    Switching pieces is now live, but blocking players is delayed, unfortunately. If this goes on to be a major problem in future, I will prioritise it.
    Another player "epo" is sabotaging my offerings of games currently. Still hoping for that block feature.

    That is unfortunate - sorry to hear this. Back to a priority task again then!

    I'm still having trouble where the pieces are getting jumbled up on the board, phantom pieces.

    Apologies about this - I haven't updated it since this was last discussed. It has not been forgotten.

    Suggested improvement :

    Allow only a short specified time for black to make the opening reply. ( other sites its like 30 seconds ). I just sat idle through an opening move for 10 minutes in a "forgotten" game. These types types of situations shouldn't be scored as a win, and I shouldn't have to wait for 10 min to not loose rating points.

    Another good suggestion. 30 seconds sounds reasonable.

    Regarding these games currently being recorded as wins - we will be removing the record of abandoned games with 0 moves once this is all fleshed out.

    Unfortunately, it will be at least 2 weeks before any significant changes are made to live chess now.

    I can see this player is taking and abandoning games over and over again.

    As a result, they are now blocked from the live game until they send feedback explaining their actions.

    I will be maintaining a blocked list manually until implemented properly.
