A draw in Behemoth Chess..... Behemoth Chess (coan.net vs. mangue)

Now technically, my opponent lost his king first... so I think I should have won! It took the Behemoth 1 extra move to take my king. Grrr....

Subjekt: Re:

coan.net: The rules clearly state that that's a draw.

Subjekt: Re:

Thad: I know (and I'm not really complaining to get it changed or anything) - but the rules do say "If the Behemoth destroys both kings at the same time, the game is a draw." - well it wasn't the same time, it was the square after.... same TURN, but not really the same time.

Subjekt: Re:

coan.net: You can make the same argument that if you capture your opponent's king and get destroyed by the Behemoth that you should win, since the capture takes place first, but that's not the way the rules are either.

Personally, I don't think Behemoth Chess is a good game. I would never chose to play it. I did play it once as part of a tournament with random game selection. I won't play it again. Maybe some casual players like it, but there are far better games to play.

Subjekt: Re:

Thad: Seriously? If I were to capture my opponents king, and then submit and the Behemoth took my king out, it would be a draw????

Actually I never play this game either... it's just part of a random tournament, so don't ever plan to play many more of these games... (not to mention that I'm not that good at chess...)
