We have not seen that on our test devices - so I submitted a bug report. The app team will follow up either by email or here.

Hey Badger. What is the scenario when this happens? We need to guard against any type of flow for multiple game starts. Is this a scenario where you may have tapped Start Game twice up front and a second game is initiated, or the first game completes and a second game is started?

The first game completes the second start you don’t know it’s start as your chess pieces in the state the last game ended to you don’t know it started till you like at game history so you get a time out from lichess

Hi badger89,
We are sorry you are experiencing this inconvenience.
Here are a couple more questions.
Are you using iOS or Android?
Also, when this happens, are you logged in to Lichess on a different browser other than the browser on the phone you are currently using?

iOS and I check after on my MacBook

Ok thanks for those answers. I still have a couple more so we can narrow this down.

  1. Do you have any pending LiChess game requests while you are playing a live lichess game on the ChessUp App?
  2. Are you perpetually in the LiChess game lobby awaiting a random game while you are playing a lichess game on the ChessUp app?

No
No I don’t think so

Hi badger89,
Does this typically happen when you try to start a random game more than once because the initial attempt didn’t start on time?

No every time I start a random game

I still experience this from time to time. It happened to me just now. I checked the Lichess account and I could see two more games were cancelled while I was playing the game😯

Yes it a bug that why am not playing on it

any news on this bug? i nearly always get an aborted game after i finish one playing on lichess. like the board automatically wants to start another one. This is really bad, because other people think i abort on purpose and all the time… see screenshot, i never started this game.

no news on this? I think it is super important to fix this. I hate it when people abort games. and with playing via chessup I do it nearly all the time. I really dont want to annoy other people…

(I started one game via the ChessUp ā€œlobbyā€ on an iOS device, after the game I went to lichess to go through the finished game and then I saw, that there is a new game in ā€œProgressā€ i never initiated)

I will get the app developers to move this up in priority. Sorry it is still happening.
