Justaminute: thanks for the quote! it explains it nicely for classic chess indeed! i am trying to find a position in classic chess in which my king would be in check, but i would still be able to capture the king of my oppenent, but i fear that is not possible in classic chess :)
i will pay more attention next time, and try to remember this game :)
Justaminute: i always understood that in classic check you had to get out of chess otherwise your king would be captured on the next move and you would lose the game anyhow .. the same for a check-mate position .. there is no way to get out of it and win the game, so the game could end right away
in this case i have a way to get out of the check position by winning the game (and thereby preventing any future actions of my opponent) ?
i guess the rules of classic chess are really rules, and not just logical statements :)
I can end the game by moving my knight from F2 to H3 ... the site doesn't allow this though as my king is in check (by my opponents queen)
I can't find it in the rules though that I should solve a check position if I can finish a game before my opponent actually manages to capture my king?
when a pawn reaches the other side of the board .. is it allowed to promote it to a pawn again ?
is this allowed with the last pawn on the board ?
would you lose if you promote your last pawn to a pawn ? (in theory there might be a short period during the promotion in which you have no pawn left ?)
