Wait I know exactly what happened to cause the bug. While you can't travel back through time, what you can do is travel sideways through time. So, @thibault, who had seen Bobby Fischer playing in a YouTube Video and phased sideways through time to that exact scene and called Bobby Fischer out to convince a friend of his (who was @Toadofsky, a lichess developer) to change the code to insert the bug in. Fischer insisted that they change the name of the Arena to Chess960 Arena as well (as Chess960 was there on lichess and it was the same thing as Fischer Random) and so they did that as well. They informed @NoJoke to keep it a secret (about the bug) until the article got released.

What @NoJoke did was that just yesterday night was phase through time to get into my dreams and tell me the entire story of the bug, not just the fact that there was a bug. He also told me to release this story at exactly post #58 of this forum. So, I just did.

Now phasing through time leaves surprisingly little mark if you return things to its correct place, but I was able to recognize that the mark was of @NoJoke phasing through time to get to me about this.

At the end, Fischer was returned to 1977 or something (I don't exactly remember), but since back then, nobody could recogize time phases, and even today, I'm one of the 14 people in the world who have learnt to recognize them, the youtube video still looks normal.

By the way, it's actually quite hard to recognize a time phase.

Now how @NoJoke picked me:
Well... he just picked a ton of random lichess users and saw that only I could recognize time phases (he was only 1/4 of the way through the lichess users so maybe other lichess users, like @NoJoke and @thibault and @Toadofsky can recognize time phases).

So yeah, that's the entire story.
