Chess Bug

There is a bug in at least one tournament. In two games where I am White I cannot start the game. The board is flipped upside down with Black on the bottom. My time is running out. Because of this, I will withdraw from LittleGolem as I have better things to do than waste time on a site with sloppy programming at virtually no active admin.

In your gamerecord I only see 2 games with 0 moves, in both of them you are the black player and your opponent hasn't made a move yet...I cannot find any game where what you discribe is going on...maybe you could provide us with game #'s.

Thanks for taking a look Michael. In game #84027 vs Zibi and game #84029 vs Takacs Zsolt it shows me as White, but the board is flipped upside down where Black is at the bottom and I cannot make a move. My time is running. I emailed webmaster@littlegolem.net and haven't gotten a response.

Marlowe, you are the black player in those games, look to the right of the board, you will see your name next to black. I have never played chess so I don't know if the white pieces always face forward or if whoever is on turn faces forward.

Cheers, Bill

I wonder if Marlowe has been confused by something which has also confused me in the past. Times are shown the wrong way round, with the first person's time given second. So when it looks as if your clock is running, it is really your opponent's clock.

I see. My mistake. So it is my opponents clock that is running.

Yes gwg_robot, that is what confused me. My time is always given first and in those two games it is the first time that is running down.
