Subject: International checkers question

Hi,
maybe some checkers adept can enlighten me here:

In this game International Checkers (dresali vs. crayzeejim)
shouldnt I be able to move
26. ... b10xe7xg9xb4 and
26. ... b10xe7xg9xc5 ?
It doesnt allow me to make the last capture, and I wonder why.

Thanks for any advice.

dresali: well, it wouldn't allow you to make that first capture either: remember: you can't jump a piece twice, meaning that when you jump to g9, you can't backtrack and jump d6 as well.
So the possibilities are:
27. b10xe7xg9 or 27. b10xe7xb4 or 27. b10xe7xc5

If either one of the above doesn't work, then do send a bug report to Fencer, but I think his implementation is probably sound as it is...;)
