I have to report the same problem as shamshoun, not that I play blitz particularly much.

It seems to be working fine for me. I still question whether you can move fast enough playing one minute though. Pre move? Without it you can't play one min..

I lost a game on the blitz site this morning (only my second one I think, the first being against Green Pawn some years ago when I tried to defend against his Kings Gambit) and the strange thing was that the game ended before I was checkmated - i.e. the last move didn't actually appear on the board but some sort of "You are checkmated" message got displayed.

It was released late yesterday. A bug with the clocks was fixed this morning GMT and may have caused what you experienced.

Just been there - it's empty.

Can recall playing you Fat Lad, but cannot recall taking a game, it was
after a night in Bells, I do recall geting mated in 6/7 moves. 🙂
I don't play the King's Gambit, it's unsound......must have been drunk.

Possible bug is the system send the game loss message before showing
the mate.
In the PGN moving thing it shows the note before the move appears.

Yeh, game stops before mate.

Also the pgn starts at move zero!? 0. d4 d5 1. c4 e6...
