Trouble Playing Chess.com Bots

Hello!

Just tried to play against Arthur bot on Chess.com. he will play the first move, D4. I will respond with D5 and then he freezes and does not play another move on the board… I have tried exiting and resetting and he does the same thing. Not sure if it is an issue on Chess.com’s end.

I tried against the Emir Bot, it made me play White, and after I played E4, he also does not respond on the board.

Is it with any other bots or just Emir?

So far it’s been Arthur, Emir and now Martin. Basically every bot I try won’t play past move one

I dont know how much it can help or not, but I am not having any of those issues, both with black and white.

Might be something on your end.

I tested against a coach bot on chess.com and all went fine from start till finish.

When I restarted the board and tried again with Coach Danny, it worked… weird

I’ve seen this too. Failed consistently when playing against whichever bot I tried. After turning the board off for a few minutes and then back on again it worked as expected.

The old “shut down, reboot” - will fix a lot.

We will work on finding why that is and get it smoother. Glad it is up and running for you now
