first of all Happy new year to all!

 yes something weird just happen with my stats, today I reached rating 1925 by winning a game on time, this game was past move 15th, I disconnected from the site and when I came back this game was not showing in my recent games, the game had dissapeared like by a migic act, and not only that, my rating went down to 1912, just as if I had never played that game!

 something weird is going on!

check my stats and you will see how my rating went to 1925, but if you try to find the game that took me there and then brought me down to 1912 you won be able to find it, I know which game it was because I remember the position, but now is not showing in my recent games anymore, it went away

what is this, another way cheaters found to get around there loses?

Deep,  Erik needs to look into this stuff.

I just had a game with ahmedolson end, because his time expired.  My rating went up 11 points.  Now, some 2-3 hours later, that game is "gone" and the position is exactly what it was yesterday, and he now has 2 more days "waiting" showing as his move.

 

I don't know what happened to the server, but it seems to be "hiccupping" a bit lately.

hope they fix it soon.

Looking around the forums, there seems to have been a rash of strange occurences today.

The millenium bug came eight years too late!

this was caused by a bug that made some people lose on time incorrectly! it was our y2k8 bug! :) we had to roll back a bunch of games.

Nobody lost on time in my game, but my opponent was just given 1.5 extra days to make his move. Not a huge deal, I guess, just thought I'd report.
