Before moving my pawn into F4:

Pre pawn move

After moving my pawn and before the computer’s retaliation:

After pawn to F4

Now here’s where the computer cheats.  Pawns may only take pieces moving diagonally and here he takes my pawn, sitting in F4, by moving to F3!  Even if it was checkers this jump wouldn’t count for anything.

Computer cheats!

No more Chess for me.  The game’s hard enough without the computer cheating to beat me.  Good night, Irene.
