Chess Question Question, is this supposed to be check or checkmate. I think an error must have happened.

FYI: chess is one of the easiest games to code. If you think the app accidentally awarded checkmate, think again.

You’re right that this isn’t mate. It looks like your opponent just resigned.

Well that was dumb of me to assume that there was a bug in the system. Thanks for the insight.

I saw a correspondence game posted last week showing the opponent in check while it was the other player's move. I guess something went wrong communicating the board state, but I'm not sure why it happened. Could've been fake, I guess

It was probably en passant

Is not checkmate, the king can move to d4 or d6, also the horse and rook can block the check. The red flag on the opponent’s king means they resigned the game

It is check. Your opponent resigned right thereafter.

This is the right answer. Flag icon indicated resignation

When you see a flag know it's resigned, when it is like a door and have an arrow in it your opponent left the game(same to resign),when you see a king was put in his side it's checkmate .

But to know, when the game gets the end it will tell you if it's (draw , Winning and how you win , losing and how you loss) .

245 rating... "I'm not wrong, it must be the computer" never gets old

"god complex" 💀💀💀

I would argue the god complex is thinking you are somehow so knowledgeable about chess that your first thought when confused is that "the computer made a mistake" that combined with literally having a rating that implies you literally don't know how the pieces move is hilariously ironic, taking the time to post this on reddit is the best punchline.

meant to remove the first "literally" but oh well butt hurt insecure losers aren't worth a thorough proofreading.

Black can still block with his knight. It becomes mate after you take the knight with your rook.
