Racing Kings (eefke vs. currylms)

hi folks
I just had a game of racing Kings where the other player lost all their pieces and wasnt able to move their king anymore. for some reason the system ended the game as a stalemate and thus a draw, even though my king was about to win with the next move. and doesnt say that in the rules so I am kinda wondering why this happened

Hey there! Racing Kings sounds like a fascinating variant. I'm always up for trying new chess challenges.

It shows when something went wrong with the timing, when focus waned, or when a new pattern emerged.

I think the point is that the rules are being applied correctly. If the black king can’t reach the 8th rank right after white, then black doesn’t get the extra move, so the draw condition doesn’t apply in that position. are you pretty test

probably not opening often, but is stalemate a draw here too?

joshi tm: Black can only draw if their king can reach the 8th rank immediately after white does. This was not possible in this position so there is no reason for black to get another move. I think this shows the script is enforcing the rules.

Look at this game:
Koningsrace (joshi tm - Hannelore)
Shouldn't Black get another move befor I win? Or is the BK script so smart that she was chanceless in this game to draw?

agentofchaos: Ahh yes. I see now. Thank you very much.

rod03801: The black knight is pinned: if it moved the bishop would put the white king in check, which is illegal in this game - very counterintuitive for a chess game! Sort of like a reverse pin! :-)

Ok, this is probably a stupid question. I have re-looked at the rules, and I still can't figure it out.

In this game, Racing Kings (Tycho vs. rod03801) , why can I not move my knight? I can move every other piece, except that one.

Sorry for wasting anyone's time, if the answer is obvious!

Fencer: I often like to play Be4 as my 1st move, although I can't say if this is the best move or not! As black I usually reply to this move with Ka3, protecting the rook.
Thanks for introducing this game, I think it's a great addition! :-)

joshi tm: Ah, got it. Well, I usually start with king (as white). But I am not sure if it is the best strategy.

I meant "R". T is the Dutch notation ;) pardon me ;)

joshi tm: What is "Tg3"?

Interesting. But what to play first? Tg3 or Kg3 or something else? too much possibilities...
