that happened to me too. freezing a piece and taking a piece that is protected by it is illegal. it is also not a good idea, considering that all they have to do is counterfreeze you and that's checkmate

it should be legal, since freezing counters checks, but you are right that it would be a bad move

yeah that seems like a move that you should be allowed to make

theoretically, if they did not have a freeze (they used all them, or are still in cooldown) then this could be a good idea.

1) please don't downvote the post. It is reporting a bug that can affect who gets diamond memberships, which is a serious thing

2) this happened in another game as well, but it was also an inferior move, and i ended up winning anyway
