Hey, sorry to hear that, the moves should usually be played very fast in the opening, and only up to 5–10 seconds in tactical situations, so I think you might have encountered a bug. Noctie does almost no calculation, just like a human, BTW.

Was this in the rate-me page or as a logged in user? You can mail me with the e-mail in my profile if you'd like to help debug!

I ran into the same bug after doing a pre-move FWIW. Someone else also mentioned that the bug might be related to the speed of making moves: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33719934

Had the same problem as well. Actually, I wasn't able to finish a single game since it always got stuck (took more than a minute to play a move) after a while.

I'm using Chrome on Android and was only using the rate me page.

This was in the rate me page.

Yea it definitely took way more than 10 seconds.

Nice peoject tho! I'm interested in how it'd rate me.
