Chess piece dragging problems
Steps for stuck pages, offset pieces, unwanted drag previews and failed board drops.
Verified 21 Aug 2026
Basic recovery
Release the pointer, press Escape and refresh the position once. Confirm the browser zoom is at a normal level and that no page overlay remains open.
Offset dragged piece
A piece far from the cursor usually indicates conflicting transforms or an incompatible drag-preview override. The board should use its own supported drag system rather than a global native-drag replacement.
Report the issue
Include the mode, device, browser, board orientation and whether click-to-move still works.
