Rules: a rule of the game has not been respected
Detailed description
• Which part of the rules was not respected by the BGA adaptation
The north player was executing a kutakata move and suddenly his pieces stopped moving around the board and a kutakatia was declared. This makes no sense because he shoulnd't have stopped, and he has more than one capture move available (wrong conditions for kutakatia)• Is the rules violation visible on game replay? If yes, at which move number?
Move number 23 (North)• What is your browser?

Ok, it seems that I had forced a kutakatia move by having TWO capture moves available, both capturing from the same pit. I am not sure if this is correct for Bao. I would defer to Nino

I will check the replay once the game is finished.
But up front: Kutakatia is about 1 pit being blocked because it is the only harvest, not from how many pits one could reach it (see Nino's book, definition of Kutakatia).

Ok, since game is archived now, I could check it out:
You did a kutakata in move 23, leaving pit a3 as your only possible harvest for next round. It does not matter, if it is reachable from different pits (as it was from A3 and B6), only that there is a single pit to harvest - thus it was blocked for your opponent when doing a kutakata (marked black in game).
With his move a2, which was a kutakata, he would have emptied a3 after going around the board, which is not allowed, thus the move has to stop.
So everything is fine here. In case you have Nino's book (English version), you'll find an example explaining exactly that situation on page 85/86.
