I've been informed that timing out even if in a position that is theoretically impossible to lose (like if facing a bare king at chess) is always a loss here!!

The laws of chess are clear that this scenario should be a draw.

It is insane to reward a player with more than they would get, if their opponent made the theoretically worst plays.

Also why isn't auto pass extended to all games will only one legal move/no legal moves?
On a related matter I don't need to acknowledge that I've lost the initial dice roll any more than I acknowledge that I go 2nd in other games.
Passing and making only moves is a big waste of time.

thisbeme: Not having automated passes and forced moves has been hot topic of discussion as long i have been on this site. And from what i heard its been discussed long before that too, probably since the beginning of BK. I think those auto-moves would be the number one thing to improve this site. But for some shoddy reasoning it has never been implemented.

The other point you make is a valid one too. If your opponent has insufficient material to win you should be able to claim a draw in chess. Even if you time out.

thisbeme: But it is mentioned in the chess rules here that this kind of draws are not currently supported..

thisbeme: For those interested as to what the "official" chess rules are regarding this situation, please check out rule 6.9 at the following link:

This should validate thisbeme's complaint regarding the mistaken chess rules here. Well, that is assuming you can indeed lose on time here at BK even though it is impossible for your opponent to mate you. I haven't played chess here so I can't verify or refute that claim.

The same person who responds to bug posts told me as much. I noticed I timed out and was showing over 30 points (if you get 25 you've won usually)!

BTW why have mancala (blatantly won for the starter) and not Owari/Oware which is drawn with perfect play and a better game?
