Hi - My game partner made his reply move to mine and found the game immediately declared a win for him. Trouble is, I am not even in check. Plenty of room to move for me; he is actually the one in danger (but not in check either). As neither of us is in check, nor time trouble, how can this be a win (or loss)? Here is a link to the game - Game 5560920
Thx - RunsWithScissors

This looks like quite a serious bug ...
Send feedback (link at the bottom of the page) and lets hope that the circumstances for causing this to happen are rare.

This serious bug may have been introduced then.

I have restarted the game so you can finish it.
If anyone notices/hears of another instance of a problem like this, please send feedback ASAP. Thanks.

I just thought that it was a bit of a coincidence that such a rare bug manifest itself the day after roll-out.

Originally posted by RagnorakYes, there was. But that should be unrelated to this, fortunately.

In this case, it was an error in the move validation code which analyses the current state of the board after the move to check for mate.

Did you have any conditional moves lined up on this game?
