EP bug in RHP Blitz Site.

Hi

Heinz and myself played a few games to test this out.

E.P. does not work if King is in Check or is Checkmated

In this position it would not allow 6...fxg3.



I marched my King across to Queenside and Blitz Site declared
White win even though Black has EP capture.


Here is the game -

Quite handy to know this, it could gain you valuable seconds on the clock.

Your opponent might think they have been disconnected.

In this this OTB position, Reefschlaeger -v- Fahnenschmidt, Germany 1987.



White has just played 23. f4+ and if it had been on the blitz site
then it would be checkmate. Instead White went onto to lose this.

How on earth did you manage to find that game?

How on earth did he manage to discover the bug? In a million years of playing, and a zillion games played, I've never come close to delivering mate with EP as the get-out.

But I'm glad the bug has been discovered. It's so serious, I guess we're all due a refund on our subs 🙂

Just played this... and guess what, it didn't let me e.p. - which nearly led to a loss of a Rook!
