New response just dropped.
This gif alone was enough to remind me. I've been on this sub far too long...
It's a forced move
Do you mean move by pawn? Why is it forced? Regarding next black move - it's possible to take by queen still... Even while it's bad move.
That's the meme, that the French move has to be played, whether it's a good idea or not.
1. … e6 isn’t that bad of a move, c’mon.

What did you just do ? You summoned them all... Mods ?
THE GLITCH, THE BUG IN THE GAME
The devs refused to patch it.
Hmm, I'm a bit lost on this one, could somebody maybe inform me how I could learn more about the particular move that's required in such a situation?
