Is there a bug in site code, or do I miss something?
In Fevga game 5460931, I have collected all my pieces behind his block. The rules state:
"... If opponent has collected all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime, the player must unblock a point in his prime to allow the opponent a chance to move..." (Fevga rules, next to last paragraph).
Still, my opponent made a move that did not unblock me - which should not have been allowed?
Am I wrong or is the code wrong?

Aganju: You are right: according to Rules, Gammonator should unblock you with 4-3.

Aganju: Actually you are missing something. In order for Gammonator to unblock a piece in his prime, you need to have no legal moves left also. You could still make a move if you roll an ace.You should have collected them into the next point. Then, your opponent should have unblocked.
