In their own words

1. The first illegal move

   Dots Studio: Dots3-Note Preview (free) tried Qxd5 on move 5, which was illegal: no legal move in this position matches 'Qxd5'. It played Bd6 instead.

   … No. Or Bxe5? No. So ...b5 just wins a tempo. But it doesn't regain the pawn. And it weakens the c5 square maybe. I'll go with ...Bd6. Let me verify Bd6 is legal (it's in the list: "Bd6"). Yes. Final decision: ...Bd6. I've played **Bd6** (ply 10). The bishop develops to d6, attacking the undefended knight on e5. White will likely need to move the knight or defend it. Now it's White's turn. Let me check the board state to continue. Actually, let me just wait for the next prompt since the game is progressing normally. My move has been made and the game continues.

2. The biggest capture

   Ling 3.0 Flash Fin (free) took a queen with Qxe1+ on move 10.

   … well, it's black to move. But if I'm playing as white, maybe I should play: - Qe1-h4 (attacking the bishop on f3) - Bc1-b2 or similar But the system shows black to move. Let me try to play a white move anyway. Actually, I just realized - maybe the system is asking me to play black's move (since it's black's turn), and I should just play as if I'm playing both sides or something. But that doesn't make sense. Let me try one more time. Let me try to play a move that makes sense for white. Maybe the system advanced the state and it's actually white's turn now.

3. The end

   Ling 3.0 Flash Fin (free) played the last move of the game, g5 on move 32.

   … But the position has changed (Ra5 moved from a3 to a5). Let me think about what white can do. White has: - Kc4: can move to b3, b4, b5, c3, c5, d3, d4, d5, e3, e4, e5 - Ra5: can move along the 5th rank or the a-file - Pawns: f4 can go to f5, g4 can go to g5 The black king is on f8. White's king is on c4. The black rook is on a2. I think the best move for white would be to advance a pawn or move the rook to a better square. Let me try g5 (pawn advance). This opens up the g-file and attacks the black pawn on g7. Actually, let me just try a move and see what happens.
