Sometimes it shows 'games waiting' when all boards are returned but a conditional move is being observed...a few mins in which the system takes to return the board to your opposition...

Originally posted by AttilaTheHornHmmm, curious, you haven't got a game that's sat awaiting your first move have you...I've noted a few people that have posted here with 'A' game that they've not been aware of for years, one that they never moved in.

However, I've just had a cursory look at your games and I cannot find one. Just another idea, but a closer look might be in order...

Originally posted by RevRSleekerNo, I move in all games every day if my opponent has moved, and I check all games every day too. Right at the moment, I have 4 games awaiting my move on my games list, but I'm notified that I have 5 games waiting.

Originally posted by AttilaTheHornJust for clarity here, only from what I can observe; when I check your ongoing games I count 34, and the ongoing taken from your profile says 34...

There are no 'ghost' games ( 'last moved, never moved' games ), so I'm at a loss over this one I'm afraid...
I'm wondering if it's some kind of glitch; are you using the new Beta site by any chance ?

It is possible that you opponent moves his/her pawn to the 8th rank and submit moves with selecting a piece. It will show as your move when it is actually your opponent's move and your opponent will never be able to make a move. This problem is permanent and can never be solved. I have seen this in threads that I have read earlier.

Originally posted by Sebastian YapGood point, I'm not sure whether this 'scam' has been fixed yet but as you say it involves not actually promoting the pawn to a piece...your opposition can return the board at that promotion point, but until that player actually picks a piece the game just 'hangs'...

I've checked however, and there are no games approaching pawn promotion...
Edit: Funnily enough it's far far easier making cursory checks of games when using the 'old' site, the mini board are absent in Beta...

Originally posted by AttilaTheHornThat minor problem has been around since at least 2007, and it hasn't worried anyone sufficiently to give Russ a hard time about it. I believe they'll fix your numbers if you send feedback, but since the new site is completely rewritten code the problem may disappear by itself. Have you checked the new site?
But it still shows I have one more game awaiting my move than I really have. For example, if I have 0 games waiting, it shows I have 1 game waiting, or if I have 8 games waiting, it shows I have 9 games waiting. How do I correct that?
