I retested with 4.4.1 today, and the bug is gone. Thanks.

OK, thanks. I tested it in 4.4.0, and it is indeed as you say, even without engine in edit-game mode. But the mouse handler was completely re-written for 4.4.1, in conection with premove and the promotion popup fix, and I guess that also fixed this problem.

Winboard 4.4.0
I can try Winboard 4.4.1 when the binaries are out.
Legality test on.

I originally got it in a Fics game, but reproduced it setting up a position playing again Fairy-Max.

Retrying it now I see that:

Dragging the Queen to capture the rock or the bishop will give me the correct error message.

But clicking on the Queen and then clicking on the Rock or Bishop (as I tend to move) will give me the confusing error message. Most probably because Winboard think I'll try to move the black piece.

In which version are you getting this, and is this WinBoard or Xboard? And in which mode (local engine, ICS, game viewer; Edit Game or Machine White / Black). And is legality testing on/off?

I cannot reproduce it with WinBoard 4.4.1 and any combination of w/wo engine, EditGame/Machine Plays or legality testing on/off. It always says "Illegal move" or "Illegal move (rejected by first Chess Program) for me when it does not accept it.

If you are in double check and tries to capture one of the attacking pieces(and thus still be in chess from one of the pieces) you will get the error message "It is white's turn" it should be "Illegal move".

Example FEN:

4r2k/8/2Q5/8/8/2b5/8/4K3 w - - 1 2

Qxc3 or Qxe8 will give the error message "It is white's turn" it should be "Illegal move".

Qe6 (or any other Queen move) will give the correct error message "Illegal move".
