I just finished a game that had that problem.

Started OK but abt the 3rd move I couldn't get ANY of the pawns to move.

Opponent agreed to a draw but something must have gone seriously wrong----what ?

That strange. When that happens, try these:

Use the latest version of chrome or firefox.

Update your java.

Hit ctrl + f5

Clear your cookies and temp files.

OK, ignore the previous post. I think you're referring to the game with clevername123, right?

In that position, you were in check, and when you're in check, you have to either move your king, block the check with a piece, or the capture the piece that gives check.
