Hi,

I think I found a bug in "chess titans" game. I had my pawn at F4 and this
pawn threated the computer's queen which was at G5. There was a pawn at E5
that was belong to computer as well which was near my pawn. Although that
pawn did not have a chance to attack my pawn, it made its move to F3 and got
my pawn with a move which was impossible.

I was playing at level 10 as black against the computer.

En passant?

>>I think I found a bug in "chess titans" game.

probably not (although this program is quite weak)

>>I had my pawn at F4 and this pawn threated the computer's queen which

a pawn on f4 threatening a piece on g5 (or e5) is a WHITE pawn, you
couldn't be playing as BLACK against the computer

>>There was a pawn at E5 that was belong to computer as well which was

near my pawn.

OK

>>Although that pawn did not have a chance to attack my pawn

false : a black pawn on e5 attacks f4 (and d4)

>>it made its move to F3 and got my pawn with a move which was

impossible.

true : such a move is completely impossible, only a normal capture
(e5xf4) seems to be avaible here. but the whole problem is that black's
pawn was certainly on e4, where you thought it couldn't take your pawn
on f4 (which you had just moved 2 squares ahead). this is not a bug and
indeed called capturing "en passant"

>>I was playing at level 10 as black against the computer.

If you were really playing black, you had just moved c7-c5 (attacking
the queen on b4) and white's pawn was on d5.

It's been a long time since I played Chess, and in fact it is "en passant"
that is occurring. Also, regarding the draws when the computer says I won by
checkmate, it is possible that the same moves have been done three times. (I
replied to the post ganesh957 replied to, experiencing en passant and adding
the draw statistic when I won by checkmate.)

I came to this discussion board because the Chess Titans is doing the same
thing to my pawns. It does it in any level, not just 10; I noticed it first
at level 2.

Also, when I win by checkmate, which the computer announces on the screen,
"congratulations you won by checkmate," 50% of the time the statistics show I
had a draw.

Has anybody found solutions to these situations?

Hi your lucky doesn't matter how many times i win by checkmate always says
this game has been counted as a draw. I dont think the creators like people
