Answer 1

I am getting the same error. I dont know whats happening. I feel its kind of a virus that is affecting all the players rating. It will spread from you to someone who you play with i guess. This is frustrating!

Answer 2

Try to log in once again, if there still a problem, check yahoo help and see if you can fix this trouble. If you can't fix this trouble, so go and create a new user and delete your old user and start over with your new user.

Answer 3

Yahoo’s new updates to games has caused a lot of game demo’s to be “damaged” click on TOOLS , internet options, general tab, temp files, settings, view objects. Delete the game you are having problems with. It will reload next time you visit the site. Then log on to yahoo mail or answers, Before you click on games. Being pre-logged in seems to make things go better and faster..

the updates   have caused some glitches in profiles/ratings.

If it doesn't clear up in a day or two contact yahoo games help.

Have you found any more information about this? This is exactly what's happening to me just today. I've been playing in Yahoo Chess for four years and starting over is not the option that I would like to go.
