So in bughouse, I managed to spot a fool's mate that my opponent blundered. I played it, but it was NOT mate due to the fact that they can still drop pieces (bughouse). In that SPECIFIC MOMENT, they had NO EXTRA MATERIALS TO DROP AND YET THE GAME DID NOT END IN MATE. Here is a screenshot post game: I did cut out a bit of the extra pieces on the left, but you can CLEARLY SEE THAT HE HAS NO EXTRA PIECES. Bughouse NEEDS an update for these situations.

And to top that off, my teammate (600 elo) THREW THEIR GAME ON TIME AGAINST A 100 ELO.

This is checkmate, no pawns can block(they are one step too ahead or just to far) and the other pieces are blocked by the pawns or just can't block/capture

In a normal chess game, that would be considered checkmate. but this is Bughouse variant, if you can see. That means they get to place extra pieces that their teammates have captured.

Da bishop can fall? Or is that not how bughouse works? Otherwise ya fool's mate. Unless pawns go up.

Yeah, this is kinda weird. Not gonna lie, this has happened to me once in a game. Very frustrating I know.

I don’t know about bug house but how does 2 pawns help block a mate when they are attacking do you need to be ahead in material to deliver checkmate
