The way this site records chess moves is very "unique".
Instead of move 1 for both the white/black moves, it shows White moves as the odd numbers, and black as the even numbers.
But, I'll go with that to describe my opponents illegal move.
I played black

Move #21 White played d6 - Illegal move for En Passant.
This could not possibly happen.

I moved that d pawn on move #6 and #20.

Makes me wonder if there were other games that have errors..
It's a mute point I guess... I still defeated him.

Chess has at least two bugs:
  • It gets en passant wrong in ways that are...odd
  • I think it sometimes allows castling when it shouldn't (or doesn't when it should)
I think it has notation issues as well.

Strategy has various issues.

We haven't had time to fix either of those, nor is that likely to change, sadly.

I'm not aware of any bugs in the other games, if using the Java version. The "experimental" non-Java games have various issues, which is why they're still called "experimental."

Enjoy your games,

Obviously an error that occurs in one game can occur in others! (Maybe needs a few more exclamation marks and a sheesh, although I think a donna would be just as tasty)
