Puzzle racer attack?

I mean you can search their names up and... there names are usually three words and if you search them up it won't match

I have to tell you, if you try to click on their name and if it isn't blue, it's an anonymous player

That's why i searched but in my case everything is correct. Maybe it's a bug or simply because if an Anonymous join a puzzle racer, the lobby will give him a "fake" nick to be different of anothers Anonymous

Hi, I just tried this and the first run went fine but on the second run, the race seemed to start with everyone else playing and I was only being shown the default starting board position with no puzzle to play. I clicked Skip and I get a puzzle but it's white to play and the position given is where White already has played a move and put Black in check (an illegal position for white to move). I refresh the browser page and then it shows I'm "spectating" the race and can't play it anymore even though I'm being shown in the race with no moves played.

For reference, here's the link to the 2 races: lichess.org/racer/HA4mK and lichess.org/racer/m2dGY
The first one I played and finished 1st, but on the 2nd I couldn't make a single move at all.

I'm not sure if the bug can be reproduced again or not (I haven't tried) but I think it might merit a report. Can you please look into this, @schlawg ? (hope you don't mind the ping)

No I don't mind pings. Devs are aware of these shenanigans.
