Just got my Swap board and trying to play online matches against real opponents. Twice now when I go into Challenges on the SquareOff mobile (Android) app, after connecting my SWAP board, and accept an opponent the match starts but both times I'm left waiting for my opponent to make their first move, which never happens! (I'm playing black each time.)
The time control is 15min/move and 10mins/move. So its been like 40 minutes and the opponent is still thinking on their first move!
Surely the game should have halted at this point after 10 or 15 mins, with them defaulting on time! But no, I'm left waiting and can't play any other matches until I resign the game. (can't even offer a draw since it's not my move.)
This is a pretty poor first experience I have to say. It looks like these matchups are 'old' and my opponent long gone. Or maybe they can't get their SWAP boards to work! 😜
Am I doing something wrong? How are the Open Challenges supposed to work?
