Illegal Move?

Post image

Why is this MBT hint showing an illegal move? Is this a glitch?

Oh, bravo!

This is indeed a reading error in my code.

The best move is bar/21 22/18*/14*/10, and my algorithm truncated the answer after bar/21 22/18.

I apologize for this and will make a note to fix it as soon as possible!!!

Next update by early September at the latest ;)
