Issue with finishing game vs computer

Sort:

I was trying to finish this game vs computer:

http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=284374510

(OK, I know it's an obvious win, I just wanted to get to the checkmate).

In the "play position against computer" window, the moves went 1. --- Ke7 2. Qa6 Kd7 3. Qc6+ Kd8 4. Qd6+ Ke8, and at that point the system declared game over, draw.I don't see why it was declared a draw.

I had planned Qc7 as my next move, but the game over message came up before I could make the move. I tried the game multiple times, and every time after 4 moves it was declared a draw even if the black king had moves.

That link doesn't point to a game against the computer. But the usual reason for unexpected draws is that the clock ran down on your turn, when the opponent didn't have enough pieces to give mate and get declared the winner. Without enough pieces he just gets a draw.

The link points to the game I had won via my opponent's resignation. I was using the "finish game versus computer" feature available to paid chess.com accounts.

 

There is no clock in the "finish game versus computer" feature.

Ahh... OK I see what you mean now. I tried it on the analysis board and it looks OK - the draw behaviour looks wierd. The option to finish against the computer doesn't show up for me though (maybe only for your own games). You could file a support ticket.

Oops -- thought this forum would do that. I'll file a ticket. EDIT: Ticket filed.
