I'm not sure which board to put this on, so if this is the wrong one, I apologise, but it is a tournament game that I am querying.

This game Ataxx was declared a draw by the system, but Furbster could still have put his last piece and should I think have won the game and gone to the next round, not me.

Nirvana: You can only move a piece two squares so the piece is not able to be played.

Nirvana: hmmmm i see what you are saying, and you gambler104, may have to look into these rules again.
It was you move and you could not go, surely then you should pass as in Backgammon, then Furbster would play and win.

I couldn't move, and Furbster should I think have been able to place his last piece. Instead the system declared it a draw and put me in to the next round. It just doesn't feel quite right.

Nirvana: Furbster made the last move according to the game, but i still dont know if the rules state that if you cant go it is game over, surely it should just be a pass.
It is in theory possible to get to a stage in a game of ataxx (and Assimilation) where an oppenent can not move, BUT if you then move a piece away from others, it could open the game up again.
Have to see what Fencer says on the matter i think.

MadMonkey: How to finish the game

The game ends if one player cannot make a legal move. When it happens, the player with more pieces on the board wins the game. If both players have the same number of pieces, the game is a draw
