BadukEllington accepts challenge but does not play a move

I’m having trouble starting a game with the bot BadukEllington. It accepts my challenge, allows me to make a first move as Black, but then never plays its first move as White. This is curious because I have played several games with it with similar settings previously. Does anyone have any ideas? Could my game settings be relevant?

Hello @grauniad2,

the problem is most probably NOT on your side. Sometimes the computers running the bot freeze, lose connection or whatever.

I would just try again after a day, and chose another bot or human in the meantime. If you are super curious, or the problem persists you can message https://online-go.com/player/288819/ who is the administrator of the bot (you can always find this in the bots profile), or let me know and I will contact him for you. As the bot is not run by OGS, there is nothing more we can do, unfortunately :slight_smile:
