What is going on here. I am black and it is White's turn to move but he cannot.
Titans Chess has declared it a draw.
See picture.
Grrrr

According to the rules it is a stalemate - white's king is not in check, but any move would put him in check.

Why not say "I cannot make a valid move. You are better than me, therefore you have WON !"

How can it be a draw when I have fought tooth and nail to force him into submission"

Frustrated, or wot !

[HansV]

I understand your frustration, but the rule is that you win if you place your opponent's king in check (or if your opponent resigns). If there is no legal move left, it is a stalemate...

[BenCasey]

Right !

So, where is that flipping source code. I am going to change the Rules AND the message :)

(Mind you, I am only at beginners stage, level 0)
