Lichess is STILL broken on Android: ghost pieces
This issue is very old and I've filed it before. Check the ghost pawn on D5. It's rendered but is not there:
- The knight at E4 cannot be taken with it (it would be a legal move)
- At 27s mark in the video, the knight moves ONTO this square which appears to be occupied.
This is (I'm sure) a hard to repro race condition between board state and board rendering but it's a fundamental issue. Please fix this.

This is seen in Android version 7.15.2.
I have also seen this bug on android 7.15.2. It seems to me that I see it more often when my ping to the server is bad (sometimes my wifi goes bad during the game and when it recovers the refresh of the board is all screwed up)
The problems is as bad as ever. Two white bishops: https://photos.app.goo.gl/an4k6vgJ4xi5gaKJ9
I've tried to draw attention to this issue in the forum: https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/its-time-this-bug-was-fixed-black-has-two-white-bishops
Also have been experiencing the "ghost board" / disappearing pieces after refreshing bug for the past year. An in-game fix would be to close and reopen the app, though it takes like ~10 seconds from your game time.
Maybe unrelated, but there's another "refresh" bug where you start the game, put in your move, nothing happens for 10 seconds, then the board refreshes with your first move placed and suddenly you have a 10 second deficit from your clock. That's a fun one
