joshi tm: The funny thing in Pedro's example is that White won because Black lost his king (it was isolated as a result of the ice age). That seems to indicate that the Ice Age happens before mate is registered.

pedestrian: Whoa, overlooked that. What a crazy game, finally the mystery is solved.

Fencer can you add that to the rules section please?

Subject: Re:

joshi tm: Well, I would personally like Fencer to change the implementation of the game instead. In my opinion, checkmate should take precedence over the effects of an Ice Age. The Black delivered the checkmate with the 20th move, while the Ice Age occurred after the 20th move of the Black (as defined in the rules).

Subject: Re:

Pedro Martínez: I agree with that. The implementation does seem backwards in this regard.

Seems like the ice age event happens simultaneously with the move... which is fine, but the rules should point that out.
