Man, you're on a roll lately...

[teddster214]

sorry i meant her queen

[teddster214]

at move 20 when you did Bh4, couldnt you just have retreated the knight to f5? he couldnt take with the pawn because of the pin on his queen? just wondering

[zonalGman92]

Shame about the clock. I thought you might just get mate. Thanks for posting Kingscrusher.

[flamingmonkey923]

Very exciting. It's always a bummer when time cheats you of a certain win.

[ftralves]

in a real tournament i believe your oponent could have made an argument for a win.

Only with a king and bishop, you can mate the oponent if the mated king is in the courner and the knight is in an adjacent square.

[kingscrusher]

I think it depends on the rules of the tournament - I am not sure in long games, that you can win on time if you personally don't have mating material, and would have to rely on help-mate scenarios. But in blitz tournaments, depending on the rules, you are right of course.

[Seananananan]

nope. While that is indeed can be mate, there is no way to force that to happen. You would have to WANT to lose for that to happen.

[MrFedel]

Impossible to win with only the bishop. even if he helps you, unless its a rare situation. R and knight vs B. it technically is draw since kc lost on time.
