Describe the bug
I've just played a game that led to a checkmate (see screenshot), however the game didn't end. No moves were valid. We ended by resignation

Hi @lynchde! Thanks for submitting an issue.
It is a tricky game, but it actually turns out not to be checkmate. The black pawn on c4 can perform an "en passant" move, meaning the move c4b3 is valid and would capture the white pawn at b4.
That being said, it is unlikely that black can recover from such an onslaught!
