chess.com software bug

Posted on by

A chess.com bug – what new. I don’t know if other members have discovered this bug, but chess.com seems to be having trouble tracking players online time/status. This bug is reproducible and I have contacted chess.com tech support who is investigating. Bottom line is the member status of their last online visit (i.e. “last online 3 hours ago”) cannot be trusted as it’s often wrong. There seems to be a crude workaround – click the members tab several times and the online status of everyone ought to be refreshed. Hopefully chess.com will have this fixed soon – along with the inability to have unrated tournaments. Have fun in the clubhouse!
