PGN for today's exercise:

  1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nxc6 bxc6 6. e5 Qe7 7. Qe2 Nd5 8. c4 Ba6 9. b3 g6 10. Bb2 Bg7 11. g3 O-O-O 12. Bg2 d6 13. Bxc6 Nb4 14. Bg2 dxe5 15. 0-0 f5 16. Nd2 Rhe8 *

And the answer is...
White's move 13. Bxc6 is illegal because there is a black Knight on d5 blocking the Bishop's path.
