I get this bug a lot on ios.

What can I do? Restarting the app does not work.

Sometimes it works in some positions, then fails inexplicably.

Thanks for the update! Although... I really wonder if it was indeed an attack or was it an affect due to the increasing popularity of free/public opening repertoire builders . I know of 3 that are growing fast: qchess.net, chessline and openeningbuilder.com. they all use openening explorer endpoint and will show as the residential ip of the user. Imagine if there are 100s of users on these sites/apps at once. Wouldn't that look like an "attack"?

It was an attack, as explained in the blog post

All im saying is Ddos attacks require a loooot of effort and resources. What would one hope to achieve by t3mporarily disrupting one small feature on a free chess website? Its not like it brought the whole server down or there was some financial target. It Just doesn't add up.
