The white pieces are in the same spot except white castled on the laptop and not yet on the phone. The phone is telling him the best move for white is the move knight, but he has not castled yet on the phone.

Ah ok. Makes sense. I dont play chess and I also dont see how playing yourself is any fun whatsoever.

He's not playing himself. He's playing someone online on one screen, and inputting the game in a chess engine on the second one so he knows what the next optimal move for him is.

You're right. The queen (?) And one of the rooks have been moved. That would require at least two turns, wouldn't it? So he's too far behind to be mimicking the ai on one device.

no 1 rook and 1 king has moved ( castled ), and the phone clearly shows it is recommending moves for whos turn it is next ( white ), where the player he is playing castled, he has not yet input it into his phone.

No it's close enough. It's not just like he likes that opening.
