In a game of online chess of Zynga website the following position was obtained..
White Pieces - K - g1, Q - g5, B - f7, 4 Pawns - a2, b2, f4 and h4.
Black pieces - K - h8, Q - e2, B - h3, two Rooks R - f8, d1, four Pawns - a7, c7, g7 and h7.
The last move was of Black Rd8-d1...
Obviously it seems White is Checkmated... But Zynga software did not recognise it as Mate and gave chance to white for next move...
In this position does white King have a one time move of escape by a knight-move ??? For example in this position White King has an escape if one time knight move is allowed for the king in checkmate position.. In this case The white King can make a knight move and capture Black Queen - and escape mate...
Indian system of rules for chess allows such one time knight move for the King to escape Checkmate.. Has this rule been adopted for International system of chess rules?? If not why does the Zynga software not recognise this position as checkmate for White??
