Is this known ? Chess.com has the openings all wrong these days. For example I played an english opening, chess.com says it's a scandinavian ?

Did it transpose into a Scandinavian?

No it didn't transpose into a scandinavian. I'm not sure whether that is even possible .

But here is another example: d4 Nf6 Bf4 c5 is NOT Ruy Lopez Spanish Countergambit

Spanish Countergambit is e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 d5

That second line is what shows in an analysis board for that opening. Where exactly are you seeing it show differently? Do you have screenshots or links to the game on this or the other?

With how many users this sight has, they basically renamed some openings and now the real names will be considered wrong
