I seem to have the same exact problem when I try this. I will forward this issue on to our technical department.
Computer Workout Error Message
I have the same problem. I use Ubuntu and Firefox. I 1st noticed the problem Saturday night US Eastern time, and I know I did not have this problem last Sunday or Monday when I most recently used the Computer Workout.
I have the same problem using a variety of browser engines...this has only started happening recently as have used them before without issue...it could be something to do with the new site but I'm not sure..
If you need help, please contact our Help and Support team.

Hi, I'm posting because I am unable to use the Computer Workout feature. I click on a position and after I try to move a piece to any square, the computer starts "thinking" and a few seconds later I get this message:
After that my piece returns to its original position, and any new attempt to move it or another piece gives me the same message.
I closed and reopened the position window, tried several different positions, restarted Firefox, emptied my cache, but nothing has worked so far.
I'm sorry if someone else had already posted about this problem. I looked for pertinent posts but could find none.
Thanks for your help!
