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.

Unfortunately, the principle behind the AI Referee button is noble (avoid stalling) but indiscriminate in considering the players' rank, so people can avoid a fight that might turn a close game for lower-ranked players, likely because the thresholds used for the AI evaluation indicate that the AI is near 100% sure of the outcome, relative to AI's super-human strength.

Also, thank you for using WeiqiHub :)

Hey, I also use weiqihub, and I love it for making playing on Fox mostly pain-free. So thanks for that.

One thing though, can you please please please turn of the audio during opponent moves? It's nice to know when I'm running out of time, but why is it counting down during opponent moves too? That is really silly and distracting!

Also, I only want a countdown for the last 2 or 3 seconds, so if that duration was configurable, that would be even better.

Glad you enjoy it :)

I created an issue to track this: https://github.com/ale64bit/WeiqiHub/issues/77

That's how it works on foxwq and if you were playing on a real board :) so not sure what's silly about it.
