Teema: Ice age chess - checkmate timing

RGroszkiewicz toimetatud (5. veebruar 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?

RGroszkiewicz: If the Ice Age freezes a king, the player who is its owner loses the game. If both kings are frozen at the same time, the game is a draw.
