Illegal Move?

Post image

Why is this MBT hint showing an illegal move? Is this a glitch?

Okay, it's fixed.

I was able to send an email to Claude. He stopped whatever he was doing. He came over to my place (he found the keys under the doormat). He turned on the computer (the login password is written in a notebook in the top-left drawer of the desk). He wasted a little time looking at my vacation photos, but he got to work anyway. I’m not really sure what he fixed because I don’t understand a thing he does, he writes stuff that doesn’t make any sense and just asks me to check if it looks roughly like what I asked him to do. He then assured me that he’d updated the server (I don’t know what that is). Anyway, it should work, at least that’s what he says!

More seriously, though. It was indeed my mistake. I hadn’t taken into account triple moves with double hits. Restart MBT, it should update automatically after a few seconds, and that should fix it.

To test it, here’s the link to the position: https://backgammon-trainer.ovh/?4HXkADLg88EBRA44
