Played a match with the weak AI bot from the Arimaa game developed by David Fotland. I wanted to move the rabbit to h7 but it gave me "Illegal move". And the same for any move I tried. Anyway... ideas for silver?

Notice the caption says "Silver to move: step 2". I infer that you already played a step which was the first half of a push. Thus you are obliged to used the second step to complete the push before making any other step. Just a guess...
