Russ, I've had this happen to me about five times in the last couple of days. Making a trial move - NOT clicking 'move' but having the move being made anyway. I'm on a PC windows 98, AOL 7 at present.

This has happened to me a few times too.

I'm not 100% sure, but the only common factor seems to be that I have windows media player playing in the background when it happens.

Being the musical sort, Rhymester, I'm guessing you might play a few soothing tunes while making your moves?

I have been known to... but I have my hi fi and TV on the same rack as my computer so I when it happens AOL is the only program running.

That happened to me also in a game against dustnrogers today. I did place me bishop on Be3 and suddenly the game switched to the next game and accepted the move!😠

I did not hit the "move"

It happened again in a game against vaknso today! My rook was an Rh7 and I was just watching when the move was accepted!
