Относно: Re: Ice age chess - checkmate timing

Bwild: Yes, that is what the rules say. I wanted clarification about something that is NOT clear in the rules.
For example, in this game, one possible line was 40.Bd4 Re1, which looks like Black checkmates White. But it may be a stupid move that loses the Black Rook, due to the Ice Age event.

Относно: Ice age chess - checkmate timing

Променен от RGroszkiewicz (5. февруари 2011, 18:53:48)

I would like clarification on the timing of the Ice Age event. It will affect my strategy in an actual game.

Assume Black can checkmate White immediately on the 40th move. The checkmate is caused by a Rook or Queen several squares away from the White King.

White would be checkmated after Black moves, but only before the Ice Age event. Once the Ice Age event occurs, those empty square are filled with ice, so the White King is not checkmated.

Is the game over? Or does White get to keep playing?

Относно: Cheshire Cat Chess - checkmate??

I am trying to play this crazy variant. I was looking at some archived games, and came across this one: Cheshire Cat Chess (bobowski74 vs. kleineme)

Can anyone explain to me why Black is checkmated? There appear to be two legal moves to escape from check: 9... Ka5 or 9... Kb4

Maybe there is something missing from the description of the Cheshire Cat Chess rules?
