Does any one play on Uchess as well?

Just started having a go and people are starting games on me then dissapearing.

Started a 60 minute game and this guy has not moved in 40 minutes.

So I have to wait with the game on the ecreen unless i get disconnected and forfiet.

Is this common and what do you do about it?

I thought this was chess related if not ignore.

This has happened to me a few times. People are losing they disconnect from the game. You dont even get the win if you wait for the time to run out :-(

Uchess' players arent of the same high quality as those on rhp thats why you get stuff like that, which is quite common.

If they disconnect, you win - which happens a lot when loosing.

They then claim they was kicked off...

But I have had a few games where the opponents time just counts down, but when it gets to zero nothing happens - no win is awarded.

When you reconnect the games states you have lost as you disconnected.

Clearly a bug?

Yeah, its a bug. Russ knows about it, but RHP is a more viable product to work on atm.

I've just started playing there tonight. Is it possible to challenge people in the room to a game directly?

Yes, but I stopped playing there because of the problem mentioned in this thread. Most of the time when my oponent would be busted he'd just log off.

no, I don't think so. U just have to call them out via the chat window.

What's your handle there?

"Does any one play on Uchess as well?"

I just joined there recently myself I'm Najdorf Power on uchess
want some advice? it's best to create a list of players you trust
it took me two years to build mine on ICC, PlayChess, Fics
so far have 265 players on my list which I revise and update.

They don't. The second u leave the board, its a win for the other player. What the guys are talking about (maybe without knowing it), is a disconnect bug.
