The computer cheats.

I’ve been playing against the computer on the app and it is a blatant cheater. Several times now it has illegally taken a pawn. Screenshots provided. You can see that I move my pawn (black) up two tiles, and it is then taken by a white pawn that moves into  the first tile. WTF?????

Look up pawn captures "en passant".    It is perfectly legal.

Don't you worry your head about computers cheating on chess.com.  Computers also run the NYSE and the NASDAQ now, and I've heard some stories about that from people in a position to know.
