Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In Gygès #468440584, I have a winning move with my 2-stone on d2 (chess notation used):
d2 - e3 - f4 - d5 -goal.
However, the system won't let me make that move, because it forces me to go from e3 to f4 via e4 rather than via f3 (both are legal paths), after which the next step to d5 is against the rule that no line may be crossed twice.
This seems to be a bug or fault in the game implementation.

I haven't had this problem before on BGA, but I haven't played much "Gyges" either.
Situations were one path is preferable to another are not infrequent in this game.
In order to fix what appears to be a bug (or faulty rule implementation), one would have to check if the app allows altering the default path (provided by the system) at all.
If it doesn't, I would say that "Gyges" is not properly playable.
Your bug has probably been fixed already, or was linked to a temporary failure of BGA service.
In any case, when filling a bug report, make sure to have an explicit title linked to the incident (ex: with error message), so other players can recognize it and vote for it.
