Title: It got stuck and wouldn't let me move my pieces!!
Post by PhilomathBret on Oct 29th, 2009, 8:10pm
My opponent moved, then I couldn't move pieces and it just ran me out of time!!! So frustrating!!

Also the timer keeps showing wrong times when I play 1:00/6:00.

Try using one of the other game clients. Not that those are perfect :-)

What do you mean by that portion? I didn't notice any funkyness with the timer during our game, except for the timing out eventually portion. :)

Omar, I just about didn't get my last move in either for that game. Slightly before we started this game I tried to start a bot and it said that system resources were too high. I'd hate to not allow HvH games to start but it also might avoid some situations like this.

For one, it told me that I had 4 minutes reserve time at the beginning. The timer is always off when I play this time control.

If you are playing at

1:00/6:00/100/0/4:30/5

time control, then for some clients at least, they will show 4 min reserve at the beginning since that's all the reserve you have available on that turn at a 5 min maximum time per move (taking into account the 1 minute of non-reserve time).
