Chaturanga bug

Sort:

There is a bug in Chaturanga games, sometimes declared 'draw' by the system when they are not.

Example: https://www.chess.com/variants/chaturanga/game/15908228

This game is clearly lost for me, my opponent is going to bare my King whatever I do. So I resigned but the system says Draw (insuff. material) 

Here also: I won this one but the system says Draw (insuff. material)

This is not like modern Chess, here a knight is one of the strongest pieces on the board, it is huge to declare the game drawn when one is a full horse ahead. Anyway the rules described are different from the rules applied, so I think some fix is needed.

The best place to report bugs found under Play > Variants is in the variants club.

Okay thanks, I'll do that.

Reporting a bug is actually a service I do for the good of the site.


Unfortunatelly I guess I won't receive any answers from any staff or developers, no matter in what section of the forums I'll post. Patience, we will keep playing with the wrong rules.
Let's have faith ! Maybe one day...
