Also one day warning.

Look at black team's captured pieces, then at whites. You'll see why.

After I move, I usually assume Luke_Hands will watch for McGoohan to play. I'll send him a reminder that it's his move.

Time control since McGoohan's move is 3 days, so if Luke_Hands is not here by tomorrow then either we wait more, or someone else takes over for Luke_Hands. Is that what we agreed at the start?

(but I think Luke will be here).meh.png

Also, I know this is teams, but I've also been playing for self-preservation. I've only lost one pawn so far and look where my hawks are. I'm still playing for the win.nervous.png

There is no I in team... unless you change the spelling. Vickalin here is trying to change the spelling.

There is also only one “I” in vickalan. I always seemed to add at least one more.

“I” hope Luke_Hands does show up.

Just to be clear: if Luke_Hands goes down, vickalan takes over his pieces.

Also: if a king is put into checkmate, is that king immediately removed from the board, or can the player still make a move before his king is captured?
Avatar of HorribleTomato

Would the 1 person move twice with his different pieces if one king goes down, or will it be one move v. two?

@Luke_Hands, I'm glad you came back here. That's awesome.happy.png

But you dissapeared from (Luke vs Aidan) and so you forfeited. Why?meh.png

Anyway, I'm glad the game is still going. I hope to play my move tomorrow.happy.png

The win condition lets one king be captured.  One king fights for his life, but his capture doesn't end the game. This is what the rules say:

"Win Condition: To win a team must capture one of the opponent's kings, and checkmate the other. Kings still cannot be left in check, or placed into check (so can't be moved for an exchange). The first checkmated king is subject to capture (and removed from board). The lone surviving king must then be checkmated by the winning team."

What happens to the dead king's pieces?
