RE: HiveChess Lecture - Smith Morra & Friday Hivechess Tournament Today

Cheers.
I downloaded a chess app and tried out my first "beginner" plays following the tutorials. It's been really fun.

I've won once and had 2 stalemates.

The stalemates happened when only the opponent's King was the survivor. Why wasn't that a win?

Sort:  

stalemates

Because you couldn't win and the opponent has no way to go. Think about it, you didn't ake the final kill and the opponent is dead. You can't take credit for the kill but the opponent can't take the loss either. So it's a draw.

Oops. That's not cool.
And the last move cannot be undone.
