An opponent of mine just captured a pawn that wasn't supposed to be capturable. Look at the last two moves of this game:
Game 3137283
Is this a bug or is my computer just reading the moves wrong?

I would play lots of excellent players and lots of casual players. It was lots of fun except for the time I was accused of cheating because I played en-passant.
I feel stupid.
