opponent is out of moves
it's a draw and not a loss for them
What other games have bullshit rules?
Opponent is out of moves
should've mated faster
The goal is to apprehend the king. If he has no other move but is yet to be captured alive, he will just kill himself and then you cant torture and extort information from him
Fucking dumbass, this shit is so obvious, how can you not understand that? Its literally in the lore
are you calling me an incel?
Kung Fu Chess doesn't have that problem
only way to win is by checkmate
neither player has a valid move
checkmate impossible
draw
You stalemated. Cope and seethe all you want, there's nothing bullshit about it.
None of that happens on screen, fuck off with that pretentious pseudo-intellectual e-celeb bullshit
how is this a draw?
Read a book, retard. Open your eyes
Read a book, retard.
If I wanted to read a book I wouldn't be playing fucking chess, you double retard.
And my eyes are wide open, which is how I can tell you're full of shit because none of the things you mention happen, so fuck you and your youtube video """"""""""""Lore"""""""""""""
Chess is a kusoge. Play Go or Backgammon instead
white king has no legal moves to make
this means he never gets to finish his turn
therefore, a draw
The entire game and it's ruleset is a metaphor for WW2 and how Hitler killed himself in the bunker because he had no other move to play at that point but he had yet to be captured
How can you not understand this? And what fucking youtube shit are you talking about
You better be playing blitz with like 3 seconds on the clock if you fuck up a mate like this my man.
Unironic skill issue, learn to mate m8
"Fool that you are to think that you have won. I have yet to play my final hand."
t. White King
It's white's turn to move.
sounds like a checkmate to me
The king isn't in check.
SOVL
More delusional schizobabble
Oh yeah? Then why is the white king not named Adolf Hitler instead, uh?
Why doesn't the game manual mention ANY of this shit? It's because it doesn't fucking exist you dumb fucking storyfaggot, if you actually PLAYED this shit instead of watching videos from e-celebs about it then you'd know such a simple fact, not even the devs mentioned ANY of this shit simply because the game existed FAR before that and in all of the game's patches there's no mention of any of that.
Next you'll tell me the black king is named Martin Luther and that the white moves first rule is actually deeply problematic and a racist allegory.
opponent just beats everyone by being chill
I'd always checkmate fags by trapping them on one end of the board with the rooks or queen. It just works.
it's a checkmate to anyone who isn't retarded
if you think it's a draw, you are retarded
if you think "but the highly specific rules for this say", you're the kind of person who deserves a bullet to the head
You could say it was in the nature of the game.
if you just ignore the rules, it's not a draw
in timed chess that would be a loss. probably the reason timed chess exists.
where to play this
the word stalemate literally originates from this being a draw
baiting an opponent into a stalemate while you're losing is a legitimate strategy
no
if you can't make a move and your king isn't in check, that's stalemate, a draw
fast chess makes stalemates even more desirable since you have less time to think of a move and spot a stalemate
why are you sperging out just because someone explained the rules of chess to you
It's not a draw, it's a stalemate. A stalemate is the literal definition of this state: a state which is itself not check, but in which no legal moves can be made.
it's a checkmate
check
mate
without check
checkmate
Open up, shitass.
anon learns that games have rules
Read rules
Yeah, uh-huh you can't move into check yeah that would be dumb.
If you can't move it's a draw yeah that would make sense you can't take your turn.
WTF ITS A DRAW I WAS ABOUT TO WIN THIS IS BULLSHIT
Basic comprehension skills was never this boards strong suit. Literal medieval peasants could understand what was happening.
Cope, seethe, and dial8, retard.
just google kung fu chess
It's a good rule that only punishes you for being retarded. If you have an overwhelming advantage and blunder out of a checkmate you only have yourself to blame.
None of that happens on screen
If the player has no moves left the only option they can do is knock over their king, in other words have him commit suicide.
Anon Babble doesn't know how to play chess
Does Chess really have a rule that says you can't check yourself?
You'd be mating yourself since your opponent would instantly be able to capture your king after your move
Yes. IIRC, it was made into rule because butthurt retards would seethe about losing games for not paying attention to their King.
Getting mad because the rules say you didn't win is a weak mindset. Strong minded people know that they won and won't let some crusty rulebook dampen the moment. It's a similar thing if you get mad about stolen kills in vidya, you can simply ignore the computer's opinion and feel proud that you just kicked ass
it's just a rule to make the game more drawish, don't think too much into it, the game would be less interesting if being a pawn up in the endgame was an easy win
king isn't in check and white can't make a legal move on their turn. draw.
the rule exists to prevent concedes and to keep the drama going to the bitter end
it's on net a good rule, a lot of strategy games with an early concession problem could learn from it.
I see a perfectly king on the field
Dragging out the game is le good, actually
Kys
The rules about check and checkmate always felt like bullshit. The objective should be to kill the opponent's king.
It's a child-friendly game, checkmate is just the game closing the curtains right before the king gets killed off-stage
If you checkmate the king his death is inevitable anyway. Checkmate just saves you the trouble.
You'd be mating yourself
So, white king gooned himself to death?
some people lay their king flat on the board when they lose. I think that represents it pretty well
