No, the system you're browsing the web on should have no effect on this
kind of error. My best guess is that you are actually trying to move a
Black Pawn from a space that does not have a Black Pawn on it. If this is
part of a complicated move, make sure that you have not emptied the space
before you try to move the Black Pawn from it. The order in which you
string together parts of a move is critically important. Each part of a
long, complicated move updates the configuration of pieces before the next
part is looked at. Separate parts of a move are not performed
simultaneously. For example, if you wished to swap the White King and
Queen in Chess, 'K e1-d1; Q d1-e1' would not work, because there would
be no White Queen at d1 when it got to 'Q d1-e1'.
