Hi, nice snappy interface (even after making the HN front page...) and I like the gentle highlighting of possible moves for a piece.
In two games against the bot I _think_ I had the luck to run into a corner case bug with the rules engine: in the position shown in this screenshot https://ibb.co/dQ3HsM4 I'd rolled a 4-6, but the UI would not let me move my piece on 9 four spaces to hit the opponent on 5 -- the UI only wanted to let me move that piece six spaces.
I can imagine how this bug could happen-- all my pieces except this one are in my inner table, so it looks like my piece on 9 is the only piece that can legally use the rolled six, and you're required to fully use your roll if possible... except in this particular case, once I move that piece four spots, I'd be fully in my inner table and could use the six to bear off a piece.
[sidenote: I realize I don't know the best 2024 way to host a temporary image for posting on a text-only forum like HN... but imgbb looked reasonable...]
