levels, where the computer thinks
for a longer time.

Is it your turn? Is your King in
check? Will your move put your
King into check? Did you move the
Rook first when castling? Are you
moving to an illegal square?

The computer is thinking.

You have entered the computer’s
last move incorrectly (pressed the

move, such as en passant, castle,
or pawn promotion.
