For those curious about the illegal move, it seems like it's allowing queen side castling through the king side rook (or vice versa). eg. if this is the first rank, R _ _ R K _ _ _, then you could make the move O-O-O and end up with _ _ _ R K _ _ _
Naturally, it's not possible to view this move anymore, but this game (https://lichess.org/XDQeUk6j#48 https://lichess.org/XDQeUk6j#48) has everything up until the last legal move right before the illegal castling happened.
- ARandumGuy 2y agoI can see why that only appeared in 7 games. It's pretty rare to see a rook in between a king and another rook that are otherwise legally able to castle. Even rarer for someone to get into that position and actually try to castle. Also that linked game is pretty entertaining. It's not a good game, but it can be fun watching lower ranked players make moves that you'd never see in higher level games. Like, who plays Bb5+ against the Scandinavian? Amazing stuff.
- adamisom 2y agoWow it just ate the rook huh?
- jdthedisciple 2y agoseriously...how'd it vanish?
- complexworld 2y agoWouldn't the bug with queen side castling end up with _ _ K R _ _ _ _?
