bug in racing kings • page 1/1 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

Hi, I am running a racing kings tournament for kids. There seems to be a bug. Both players played 8 moves and both players reached the back row on move 8, so a draw, but the system gave them each zero points for the arena tournament because it was a draw after only 8 moves, but the game was completed, not agreed to a draw. It seems that this is a bug. I would recommend for this variation, if both kings reach the back row in only 8 or less moves, it should count for the tournament. Thank you for your consideration. Ray

if it's this tournament: https://lichess.org/tournament/lzhCQHiO
and this game GJaeON4n
then the reason is in the Arena Rules:

"Draw streaks: When a player has consecutive draws in an arena, only the first draw will result in a point, or draws lasting more than 30 moves. The draw streak can only be broken by a win, not a loss or a draw."

30 moves for breaking the streak may be too long for a variant where hardly any game lasts that long ;-)
