Rules: a rule of the game has not been respected
Detailed description
-
• Which part of the rules was not respected by the BGA adaptation
In Gygès #468440584, I have a winning move with my 2-stone on d2 (chess notation used):
d2 - e3 - f4 - d5 -goal.
However, the system won't let me make that move, because it forces me to go from e3 to f4 via e4 rather than via f3 (both are legal paths), after which the next step to d5 is against the rule that no line may be crossed twice.
This seems to be a bug or fault in the game implementation.
-
• Is the rules violation visible on game replay? If yes, at which move number?
It's the current situation, move 94.
The game is still running. • What is your browser?
Opera on PC, BGA app on tablet (same problem)

Here's a screenshot of the forced path, which I cannot modify:

I haven't had this problem before on BGA, but I haven't played much "Gyges" either.
Situations were one path is preferable to another are not infrequent in this game.
In order to fix what appears to be a bug (or faulty rule implementation), one would have to check if the app allows altering the default path (provided by the system) at all.
If it doesn't, I would say that "Gyges" is not properly playable.
