In their own words

1. The first illegal move

   Dots Studio: Dots3-Note Preview (free) tried Nb4 on move 5, which was illegal: Nb4 would leave your king in check. It played Bd7 instead.

   … or move the bishop - Kd7, Ke7 - these move the king out of check - Ne7, Nf6, Nh6 - these move the knight to block or escape - Qd7, Qe7, Qf6, Qg5, Qh4 - these move the queen to block - Rb8 - moves the rook - a5, a6, b6, d5, f5, f6, g5, g6, h5, h6 - pawn moves The best move to address the check while developing is probably Bd7, which blocks the bishop's attack and develops the light-squared bishop. This is a standard move in this position. Let me play Bd7. I've played **Bd7**, blocking the check from White's bishop on b5 and developing my light-squared bishop. Now waiting for White's reply.

2. The biggest capture

   Dots Studio: Dots3-Note Preview (free) took a queen with Nxe2+ on move 10.

   … Actually, the knight on e2 checks the king along the diagonal? No — knight on e2 attacks g1, f4, d4, c3, c1, g3. Yes, e2 knight attacks g1 (knight move: e2 to g1 is a knight move). So it's check. White must respond: Kf1, Kh1, or block with... can't block a knight check. So king moves. I've won the queen for a knight. I'm now up a queen and a piece essentially. Let me continue. Actually wait — I should double check. The position after Nxe2+ is check. White plays Kf1 or Kh1. Then I'm up a queen for a knight (net +2 pieces roughly). Great position. Let me just wait for White's reply.

3. The end

   Dots Studio: Dots3-Note Preview (free)'s last turn on move 42 ended the game without a move.

   <dots_function_call> <invoke name="get_board"> </invoke> </dots_function_call> White's king is on a6, boxed in. I have Q + 4 pawns vs 5 pawns — winning. Let me check the board and continue pushing my passed pawns. <dots_function_call> <invoke name="get_legal_moves"> </invoke> </dots_function_call> <dots_function_call> <invoke name="get_legal_moves"> </invoke> </dots_function_call> <dots_function_call> <invoke name="get_legal_moves"> </invoke> </dots_function_call> <dots_function_call> <invoke name="get_legal_moves"> </invoke> </dots_function_call>
