Subject: Re: Handling of perpetual checking/chasing

kleineme: ARGH! I threw away a won game - according to the rules: "# Perpetual check is forbidden. A player cannot check opponent's king more than 3 times in a row with the same piece and the same position."

OK, I thought it would be the same as in chess.

Subject: interesting endgame with zugzwang

look at: http://brainking.com/game/ArchivedGame?g=976635&i=74 - with the last rook move from me my opponent came into "zugzwang".

I won in the next moves - but can red defend?
