I have XG issues.

Illegal Moves in XG

I had a problem with illegal moves myself a couple of weeks ago. I was able to trace it to down to bad text files being saved from GridGammon.

When two or more checkers were on the bar, and a player tossed a roll that entered two checkers, GridGammon would leave the move blank in the text file. The dice roll was given, but without any checkers movements. XG was interpreting the blanks not as a forced move, but rather as no move, something it declared to be illegal. The moves that follow such a play would often then be flagged as illegal, too.

The fix was for me to open the match file as a text file in Notepad, and fill in the missing moves. After that, I could open the file in XG and found that it behaved.

Hope this helps.

Mike
