My kids entered the same room and can see each other but when the first person selects a blitz game type it automatically matches them against a random person.

So they're playing two different games while watching each other.

The room name is sufficiently long and unique. What might we be doing wrong?



Oh no. That's not how it's been working last week! It looks like rooms are being combined now at chessbase??? Will have to figure that one out!

Edit: Looks like either a change at chessbase or a misunderstanding on my part that didn't manifest until the world hit it :/ I've put a message on the site and plan to roll my own based on socket.io and chessboard.js soon. Thanks for letting me know!


Hey, thanks again for reporting this. I _think_ I have it sorted now. I wrote my own chess room.


Awesome! It worked for us today. Thanks for putting this together :)
