Subject Game 167796
Regarding the subject game, I question how the rules of chess fit with the computer logic of redhotpawn. In the next to the last move of this game, the white knight is moved to its final position leaving the column open between the black rook and the white rook.
Black takes the white rook with his queen for check mate. However, it seems to me that the black rook does not protect the black queen because he cannot move without exposing his king to the white queen. Therefore the white king should be able to take the black queen. In that case, white would win with his next move, the white queen taking the black rook. As it turned out, white lost in the redhotpawn world.
What's the real truth of the matter, for future reference.
Very truly yours,
