Could y'all please look at move number 19? I believe I still would have lost, but white's rook jumps over my pawn to take my queen. Isn't this an illegal move? I thought only knights could jump over another piece without taking it. Please shed some light on this.

Looks like an illegal move ... Contact Chris or Russ (Feedback)

There should not have been a black pawn there for the rook to jump over, as White captured it 'en passant' the previous move.

It's yet another example of the en passant bug causing havoc, and in this case, costing someone a game.

Russ or Chris really need to sort this out.

I think the error only occurs in the move history, not in the real game. But I could be wrong. If I am right, then it did not influence the outcome of the game. But the bug needs to be fixed.

I would suggest that the players download the moves to their mail and check what is there. And add this to their message to Chris & Russ.

Mefisto.
