I have tried MANY times to initiate a set piece game with the FEN r2qk2r/ppp2ppp/2np1n2/2b1p1B1/2B1P1b1/2NP1N2/PPP2PPP/R2QK2R w KQkq - 0 1 But the "set game" board will not stay set & activate the new game. . If I copy and paste the FEN it erases when I press "set position" button. If I choose a start position from the "library" the "start new game" option at the bottom of the screen remains available. But if I choose to set up my own board, that "start new" option is no longer available. Likewise, the start button in the upper left doesn't work at all after the position FEN is set.

I got as far as getting the board set up and to 'create new game'

When I hit "create new game" the screen had all the info in the address bar but the rest was blank.

I hope someone can help

Are you on a phone or laptop?

I did it on the phone, don't press the button where it says about the fen. In the settings after that theres play this from position.. press that then start the game

Actually you're right, looks like a bug. I did all the steps but the screen went blank after actually trying to set upg the game.

Yup - I tried setting up a game with you using the FEN you posted.
No working. I've sent feedback - so hopefully admin / devs will notice soon and fix.

Definitely a bug and not something you're doing wrong

(either that or all of us are doing it wrong).

Not to be outdone I also tried this (and other positions it didn't work, so I sent feedback.

I'll be looking at this tomorrow. I did encounter and fix an issue when working on Thread 202479 so I'll back port that fix. Apologies for the delay!

I'll put twenty on Russ

If bugdroid starts winning Russ will simply change the software.

I already subscribe but am thinking of an additional donation so Russ can help me beat you in our game with a wonderful software fiddle - sorry - typo - I meant fix

@Russ
new game, Id opponent, enter FEN positioning. press "set position"= empty blank form .
The command to "Create New Game" that appears at the bottom disappears -- & no other is available, IMO. I referred to you previous instruction with no success. coffee still possible. Carjacker
