Board sometimes just sllightly aslope

I am using the latest version of Chrome on Win 7 and sometimes the board just tilts slightly midgame. This is an example:

It has beeen like this for months so I would be very suprised if this isnt happening to anyone else. The picture shows after the game but it usually occurs midgame.
Deleted previous two posts as they were simply false.

Basically, you play too fast, haha. It's one of our anti-botting mechanisms. If a bot uses pattern recognition, this is one of the measures taken to throw it off. Looks like the threshold will have to be a djusted again.
Interesting. How would slightly skewing the board stop bots? I don't understand what you mean by pattern recognition.
The way bots work is by taking a picture of the board (screenshot) to get the position and then it runs the position through an engine. If the board is slightly warped the bot may have trouble extracting the position
