Really enjoyable, thanks! My opponent had some bugs where he could place chess pieces on top of each other. And he was unable to move pieces that were in certain positions. He was on Chrome, Mac. Unsure if the game or the browser failed, I had no problems

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure about being able to drop pieces on top of each other.

Also, in chess, you can only move pieces that have available moves. For instance, if your knight is pinned, you'll be unable to move it.

If this continues, please let me know!

It looked like this http://i.imgur.com/8hPFB.png Pretty sure it was a Chrome bug, all is fine now in a new game using Opera

Thanks for the screenshot. I think this is a pretty rare bug that has something to do with the push layer stuff. We're looking into it to see if we can detect this a little smarter, especially as we move towards mobile experiences.

In the interim, if you see this, you should just be able to refresh and all will be good again.

Yes we played for a couple of hours and ran into a few similar situations where my opponent got his view out of sync. Refresh fixed it so no worries. Didn't know we could just F5 mid game ;)
