The '''Convergence Glitch''' is an odd [[glitch]] in the [[MS ruleset]] of [[Chip's Challenge]] which occurs when [[Chip]] and a [[block]], as a direct and immediate result of Chip's move, exit the same [[teleport]] at the same time.

This glitch cannot occur in any [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack|official]] level.

This diagram shows the more widely-used setup that invokes the Convergence Glitch. When Chip enters the teleport by moving east, he pushes a block which touches the [[red button]] to the [[clone block]] at coordinate [4, 2]. This block will enter the first teleport and move north out of the second while Chip is in it. During this time period, Chip will appear on ''top'' of the block, rather than being killed by the block.

The result of this is that the teleport is erased, according to [[transparency]] rules, and the block turns into a Chip tile, facing in the direction it was just moving, and continues its movement out of the teleport. Meanwhile, the real Chip is left on the teleport's square, but can still perform [[boosting]] off the tile.
