As soon as I got into a checkmate position, the game was automatically declared a draw. Is there some sort of time limit or something? I mean, fuck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2006 Based on that picture, any move your cousin might make with his king would result in checkmate. IIRC, the game is a stalemate when that happens because you're not allowed to move into a checkmate. "Suicide" of the king = illegal, in chess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2006 sfa is right. Its a draw because you cornered him into a stalemate, and not gone for the checkmate instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
