[Bug-gnubg] Re: Odd behavior during bearoff?

[Christian Anthon]

Hi Louis,

it is a bug in the code that finds legal targets for moving a chequer
(gnubg basically interprets your move as 3/2 2/off) . The bug was
already there in 0.14, but nobody noticed until now, since I recently
fixed a bug in the "click and move" code by adding a check for legal
targets.

Christian.
