Piece moved by itself

I was playing a game, and my queen was directly in danger. I was planning to move her out of danger, but instead, when my turn came, my DS bishop moved itself to capture a totally unimportant pawn, thus losing me my queen and the game. Why are pieces moving on their own, and why is the service allowing this kind of blatantly stolen game? I refuse to let my rating be smashed by what is either cheating or a horrid bug.

Just had this happen to me in a Daily game where there are no pre-moves. Halfway through the game I logged on to see that apparently I had moved my queen to an empty square covered by 2 different pieces and opponent captures for free. Totally bizarre.

I guess your cursor was on the queen and when you touched the mouse to make your move, it might have happened like that! 

This just happened to me. I turned on my iPad, hit the app and a rook moved on it’s own. The timer said I made the move 8hrs previously, which would have been remarkable as I was asleep. I’m playing daily chess and don’t think I have the option of a pre move. I can’t see how I could have done this inadvertently.

Happens to me all the time now whne playing the robots. Trying to come up with some consistency on why this is happening but all I've been able to determine is that it always happens on the iOS app I play on and it's after I go to explorer. Happening with moltiple bots. Makes playing these games pointless at this point...

There's a known issue with that on the iOS app. Until it's fixed, not using the Explorer will keep it from happening.

4.1.2 is being released, which may have a fix for that, though I'm not sure.

This literally happened to me in daily chess. I JUST got a royal fork, and I don't know if my opponent cheated or not but somehow my knight moved to take the rook. There are no premoves in daily chess, and i have confirmations on, and the time frame it said the move was at there was no possible way i could've played it. Is this a bug or a hack? Either way this is extremely annoying and needs to be fixed.
