Recently when I was playing a game of Chogue, I was threatening a Black Bishop around the maze. Eventually, I had the bishop on the same file as the Black King, and I moved a Queen directly in front of the bishop. Black then moved the Black Bishop out of the way, thus allowing me to capture the king, on level 1. I would have thought that the AI would have noticed the only valid moves result in checkmate, and thus sent the king down the stairs (there were no other black pieces on the board).

Hey thanks for registering this - yeah, it's a bit of a known issue that I've run into very occasionally myself. In theory it shouldn't happen, and we've taken a look at it before, but it's turned out to be pretty hard to track down!
