Hi,<br><br> During a game of Imposter Chess in 'solitaire mode', I made the following moves:<br><br><b>1. N b1-a3<br>1... p e7-e6<br>1... P c2-c3</b><br><br>After the initial 'P c2-c3', the 'N' that is on 'a3' disappears from the board. When I attempted to make the next move, 'p e6-e5' it gave me an error message saying:<br><br> '<i>No move was made, because there was no p on e6. Go back and try again.</i>'<br><br>I then clicked on 'Annotate' to record the moves and the board on this page showed both the 'N' on 'a3' and the 'p' on 'e6' <u>missing</u>.<br><br>I'm definitely experiencing a malfunction of some kind.<br><br>I've tried this same experiment using the exact same moves as above, both in 'Solitaire' and 'Log' mode, each coming up with basically the same results -- disappearing pieces from the board. The vanishing usually begins when a new move is made.<br><br> To get a better idea of this problem, check the log of Imposter Chess 'Laila Stefan vs. Laila Stefan'.You will notice in the movelist there is a repetative pattern of putting the 'N' back onto square 'a3' and the 'p' back on the square 'e6'. This is proof that they won't remain on the board, so no other moves can be made because it is confusing to play with vanishing pieces.<br><br><center> Hope this information will help somehow!<br><br><b>            ~ Laila</b>
