ChessUp bots not working via the app when you play as black

The ChessUp bots aren’t working via the ChessUp app today when I choose to play as black. Nothing happens. However when I set up the game up via the board display it works. Would like this fixed as the app provides more interesting settings such as opening books and more bots.

Thanks for letting us know - we will investigate and fix ASAP.

Are you using ChessUp on iOS, or Android?

Edit: seems to be working on ChessUp2+Android, I play black on board vs app as white.

Android but there was an update to the android version today for me so now I have version 3.1.5.

Version 3.1.5 seems to connect more reliably maybe in terms of ChessUp bots playing as white via the app, but still not working 100% perfectly, I’ll make an unlisted video demonstrating the issue:

1st attempt: success

2nd attempt: failed

3rd attempt: success

4th attempt: failed

5th attempt: failed

6th: attempt: failed

7th attempt:success

8th attempt: failed

9th attempt: failed

10th attempt: failed

11th: failed

12: failed

13: failed

14: failed

15: failed

16: success

17: failed

So in my quick experiment with today’s new android version 3.1.5 I had a success rate of 4 out of 17 attempts which is about 25%. But if I do it without the app the success rate is 100%. So I think the app still has a bug in this issue.

Notice that you can know immediately if it’s a success or not by its behavior at the start of the game, if it’s a success it’ll immediately show a blue swirl in the middle of the board on the app, if it’s a failure there will be no blue swirl at the start of the game.

I should have tagged @grabbe - I misread the first post.

Looking into it
