    The computer called this game a draw. The only reason I can think of is because of the number of turns passed before I got the computer into this position. We went back and forth for a while.

    Am I missing something? Is there a reason this isn't checkmate or did the computer just make a blunder.

    I'm white and he is black BTW in case you didn't notice.

    No matter which way he moves he is trapped.

    Of course I noticed.....the CPU wouldn;t screw up like that.

    ...when you trap your opponent's King (his final piece) and you DO NOT have him in Check...you force a Draw.

    you screwed up.

    It is illegal to move into check.

    As Section said, if you do not have an opponent in check and he has no moves, it is a draw. You did indeed screw up.

    Thank you section that is the answer I was looking for. :knucks:

    No need for the stupid comments. I haven't played since I was like 10 when I used to play a LOT. Some of the rules have slipped my mind, hence why I asked.

    not stupid comments. I didn;t mean them that way. I apologize if you took it that way.

    asking if you wanted to play for money was a joke....

    Tokyo!
    Like Chess? Getting bored with it, but still enjoy this sort of game?
    Try Shogi!

    It's a much more offensive and more defensive game.
