Default Return of the Mating Bug

Sanny, your program's bug -- the one where it thinks it can move
twice-in-a-row -- is back.

I was playing the Easy level, I believe, and after some careless
errors on my part where in fact I tried to speed up my play to nearly
match the computer's much faster speed (while also jumping
back and forth from my other browser window), I was shocked
to see that, not only was I down material, but the computer has
once again taken the liberty of claiming a King capture by moving
twice in a row! Something is amiss, because this has been a
rather long game and yet it waits until we are almost done before
the bug returns. The killer move(s) this time is/a Q-d2+
(winning my Rook) and then, I suspect, QxK "0-1"!

------

My new strategy of playing a faster-moving level in order to rack up
some quick and easy wins has backfired on me. I am now losing,
(which I strongly suspect is not the best way to earn such points).

In another post, I pointed out that only if the human opponent
were fool enough to do this sort of thing, would your estimates
of 100 point intervals make sense. Now it's all becomming
crystal clear. :D
