I don't know if the interface already commits the user to the first move after he entered it. If not, and he can still take it back, you don't really have to do anything.
This comment popped up while I was writing my last one. The interface does not commit a user to a move until it is complete.
Whatever he does for the second move will be rejected as illegal, so sooner or later he will decide to try another first move.
That's how it currently works. A player without any legal move on his second move is unable to proceed and must go back and make a different move to complete his move. The problem comes in when a player has only one legal move, and that puts him in a position without any more legal moves. In that case, the player is unable to move at all, and all he can do is resign or wait for the clock to time out. I would rather have something cleaner than that.
