Commands not working with SAN notation on the website for a screen reader user. #16648

Exact URL of where the bug happened

https://lichess.org/practice/checkmates/piece-checkmates-i/BJy6fEDf?move=Rh6

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Go to the Lichess.org.

  2. Go to the practice section.

  3. Click on "Piece Checkmates I"

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to play by entering the commands after enabling the blind mode. I expect to enter the algebraic commands to move the pieces such as Rh6 (rook to h6), Qd4 (Queen to d4), etc.

What happened instead?

When I enter the command, the page seemingly refreshes or reloads (I can't tell you exactly as I am totally blind), and the pieces do not move.

No dialog box appears. My screen reader does not read out anything. Either there is nothing, or my screen reader is unable to access anything. The page moves too fast once I press enter.

I am able to access everything else once the blind mode is enabled: the command input box, engine output, position of the pieces, the combo box to change the form of commands (I use SAN notation).

Commands like eval and p (to know the pieces such as p r for knowing the rooks) does work. But the moves do not work.

I am using Firefox browser with NVDA screen reader on Windows 11.

Do let me know if this is not the right place to report the accessibility problem, and where else I should go. Thanks for your time.
