Title: Plan window accepts illegal move
Post by Boo on Jan 23^rd, 2013, 2:43pm

It is possible to repeat the position for the 3rd, 4th, 5th... time in a plan window. That is illegal according to the rules.

The plan window also allows one to continue past goal. Pretty strange eh? Both features seem useless to me.

I could be wrong, but I think this is because the server does move validation, not the client window. The client only validates individual steps.

When using the plan window, there's no server to validate anything, it's all client-side.

I don't think so. I think the 3 fold repetition is checked on the client side (except the plan mode).
