What's the purpose of writing a rule of a game when the system does not apply it?

Look at this move White to play 65. White is forced according to rules to unblock a point in the 6 prime to allow an opponent to move.

This is the corresponding rule Brainking has:
It is allowed to build a prime (six consecutive blocked points) anywhere else (not in the player's starting quarter), but if opponent has collected all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime, the player must unblock a point in his prime to allow the opponent a chance to move.

The implementation has also another serious flaw.
I will make an overview in some days about what improvements need to be made in Fevga in this site, to the rules and to the implementation that is buggy.

Subject: Re:

Constellation36: Yes, that looks like a bug to me also. Of course if you wait a long time to tell anyone, or tell no one - it is hard for bugs like that to be fixed.

On the game page, in the upper left hand corner is a "bug" icon - click on that to report a bug on that game. Include the same information you wrote here there - and hopefully the bug can be fixed.

(Fencer, game programmer does not always read the boards on a regular basis - so best to leave it in the bug tracker so he can easily see the list of bugs that need fixed.)
