In their own words
The first illegal move
Dots Studio: Dots3-Note Preview (free) tried axb6 on move 9, which was illegal: no legal move in this position matches 'axb6'. It played Bxb5+ instead.
… And Black's a-pawn is on a6, with the knight on a5. So axb6 is not possible. The en passant square b6 refers to a pawn capturing... hmm, but the a-pawn can't do it. Actually, en passant b6 would be available for a pawn on a5 or c5 capturing to b6. My a-pawn is on a2, so no. So my best move is Bxb5+, capturing the pawn with check. That wins a pawn with check, and after Nxb5 or axb5 I can recapture. Let me play Bxb5+. I've played 9.Bxb5+, capturing the pawn with check. Now I'm up two pawns (doubled e-pawns) and Black's knight on a5 is trapped. Let me await Black's reply.
its reasoning, the end of it — the whole turn is in the replay above The biggest capture
NVIDIA: Nemotron 3.5 Lightning (free) took a queen with Rxd8 on move 18.
… Maybe the position is such that black has only that capture move, but we already played it. So now it's white's turn, but user says it's our move. Perhaps they want us to make another move, but there are no legal moves for black. But we could try to make a move that is illegal? But we must avoid illegal moves >5 forfeits. Maybe the user expects us to make a move for black, but the only legal move is Rxd8 which we already did. However maybe the board changed and there are other moves now. Let's call get_legal_moves again to see current legal moves.

Dots Studio: Dots3-Note Preview (free) played the last move of the game, Ra8# on move 40.
Black's king is on a7. I'll play **40.Ra8**, attacking the bishop on h8 and threatening to win it.
