I am playing a game in which I am black and in check but I think it is actually checkmate as I see no move that will allow me to either move my king without putting myself into checkmate or a move that will allow me to remove the threat (white pawn). Has anyone been in this situation? Is there possibly a "glitch"? I am stumped. 🙄

There's definitely a move, this has never been found to be a "glitch" in this forum. Have you checked for en passant and all possible captures?

I've been on the receiving end of one of those, and it took me forever to figure it out.

Technically against the rules. If he cannot find a way out of check he loses on time.
You just helped him in active game. 😲

I disagree. I simply rejected the glitch possibility and listed other possibilities. But you could say venda did that because venda said so himself.

Technically you are correct and perhaps I shouldn't have pointed him in the right direction over the en passant thing.
Good luck with the operation
