Lmao I saw the white pawn move up and I was absolutely sure the next move was going to be an en passant and OP was new to chess and didn’t know it was allowed.

I…did not expect that.

u/Lord_Karadoc 22h ago

How do you want to play "en passant" in this situation? None of the pawns are adjacent.

u/mrdannyg21 22h ago

I wasn’t looking at the board that closely, just saw the pawns pushing towards each other

u/MajorInWumbology1234 18h ago

Personally, I just made the assumption it would be en passant because it’s about the most obscure thing in chess. I don’t even know what it is, I just know of it and that it involves a specific setup with the pawns.

I was thinking the same thing like are you sure you know how to play until it made that move than I shut the hell up laughing

Use Lichess, that's a really good app.

Drop it. Don't play a fuck up, find a good chess game. Back 20 years ago when I was in high-school I would look for chess games all the time. The ones that interested me most were smoothest play, simple settings, giving me more value than playing in person. I really enjoyed ones that played like the Harry Potter version.

A straight up illegal move? Hell no. I'd drop that game in a second. That is terrible design. How can that be in the game for 15 years? Unless it's a bug from the newest update... but I'd be scrapping it after that.

Maybe its bad programming, or maybe its the AI becoming sentient and refusing to lose.
