The main board is showing a move that differs from the move I made, which is reflected correctly in the game log
See game id 7484275
Move 27 Black pf5 on game log - this was the move I made
Move 28 White pxf6 - which assumes the move I made was pf6 - this is what is now on the main board but incorrect.
Can this be changed back to the correct position pre move 28 or if not how do I void the game other than by offering a draw - under 24 hours left before I timeout.

The rule-checking routine is flawless. If the system says it is correct, it is. If you try to do something illegal, it won't accept it.
Go on from this position.

Originally posted by FabianFnasThanks for quick response form Gotegurg..........but the issue remains - the game log correctly reflects my legal move 27 black - the main board reflects a move 28 from white that has a pawn moving diagonally to take a pawn that is not on that square - this is impossible. The rule checking routine is therefore not as flawless as you believe. There is a bug somewhere.

You probably need to review the rules of chess, after which you should find why the move sequence you experienced is valid. Pay particular attention to how the various pieces are allowed to move, both normally and under special circumstances.

If someone can explain how move 28 white is possible after move 27 black then I will own up to being terminally misguided and apologise profusely for the error of my ways.

In my opinion it should be allowable to tell someone with your particular question to look up the en passant rule. I'm sure others will disagree.

Originally posted by mwmillerI definitely agree. You didn't deserve the sarcastic response you got, even if he did have the grace to apologise once he realised his error. The words "en passant" are hardly going to affect the outcome of a game in progress.
