Case contract

Input: {"board", "from": square of a pawn, "ep": en passant target square or null}. Return sorted pseudo-legal destinations: one step forward if empty; two steps from the starting rank if both squares are empty; diagonal captures of enemy pieces or onto the ep square. A destination on the last rank is expanded into four entries suffixed q, r, b, n.

Why this case matters

Move validators gate every move in engines, servers and arbiters; accepting an illegal move or rejecting a legal one corrupts the game record.

One recorded failure
