Ämne: Re:

wetware:

from thefreedictionary.com - but all definitions are essentially the same

check·mate (chkmt)
tr.v. check·mat·ed, check·mat·ing, check·mates
1. To attack (a chess opponent's king) in such a manner that no escape or defense is possible, thus ending the game.

After move 40 an escape *is* possible if the ice age event would cause the king to avoid capture.

Honestly, you people think this is opinion - it isn't... we are trying to interpret the rules as written. I believe my interpretation is the only possible interpretation.

*Opinion* might be that this rule isn't a good rule and should be rewritten.
