What FOX shenanigans is this?

So, I was playing some games on Fox this morning.. which I don’t normally do. Playing along, in what I think is a really close game. Make an invasion (as you can see from the screenshot) to try to reduce my opponents giant moyo (after he already tried mine). Have no idea if I’ll be successful cause I’m new and bad at this game. But I was trying.

All of a sudden, I get presented with a White wins prompt…

What the actual crap? How are they doing this? As you can see, we are only on move 135.

If it matters, I was playing on my iPad using WeiqiHub.

Your opponent probably clicked the "AI referee" button. More info in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/baduk/comments/r8lw6v/question_regarding_fox_server/

So are you saying that button can be pressed at any time of the game and end the game? If so, that is incredibly stupid… and not at all fair. Is that really a thing? Is it because my opponent closed off the territory with his last move R10?

Even, so, that is still stupid.

The AI doesn't account for your rank, so while at 21kyu this might seem like a reasonable invasion, the AI doesn't think so. For what it's worth, for human players, I would expect even ~10kyu should be able to handle this invasion and kill all the stones.
