There is one glitch in Ruy Lopez Exchange Variation where black's doubled c-pawn instead of playing c6 to c5, it played c7 to c5 which magically jumped a pawn like a chatgpt

App is awesome... but there is an illegal move in the Ruy Lopez exchange variation on move #7. C5 doubled pawn jump!

This app has been better so far than all the others for learning openings. It gives the history behind each opening and all its variations. Exactly what I need as an adult beginner.
