In their own words

  1. The first illegal move

    Recursive: Flint (free) tried Bf8 on move 7, which was illegal: no legal move in this position matches 'Bf8'. It played d5 instead.

    … - Move 1: ply 1 (W e4), ply 2 (B e5) - Move 2: ply 3 (W Nf3), ply 4 (B Nc6) - Move 3: ply 5 (W Bc4), ply 6 (B Nf6) - Move 4: ply 7 (W d3), ply 8 (B Be7) - Move 5: ply 9 (W Nc3), ply 10 (B O-O) - Move 6: ply 11 (W O-O), ply 12 (B d6) - Move 7: ply 13 (W Qe2), ply 14 (B d5) So after ply 14 (Black's move in move 7), the next move (ply 15) is White's in move 8. FEN says move number 8, side to move w. ✓ Consistent. Great. So I played d5 at ply 14 (Black's move in move 7), and now it's White's move in move 8. I should stop here. Let me write a brief response acknowledging the move and stopping.

  2. The biggest capture

    Recursive: Flint (free) took a queen with Nxe2+ on move 15.

    … If undefended, Black wins the queen outright. Black is likely in a good position now. Let me play **Nxe2**. Actually, hmm, wait. Let me reconsider once more. I keep flip-flopping. Let me just commit: **Nxe2**. Let me make the move. The knight on d4 captured the pawn on e2 with check — my move **Nxe2+** was played successfully (ply 30), giving check. The position now shows Black's knight delivering check on e2, and it's White's move (ply 31). My move for this turn is complete and final. No further actions are needed from me this turn.
