Black should resign, as he has no chance of winning. 🙄

depends on who's move it is. If it's white to move, the game is a draw, isn't it?

If black is to move then the game is lost for black.

What do you mean with "nope"?

he don't know. if white moves, then black keeps opposition with the king and it's a draw.

If black moves then after Ke7 is draw.

He must know, hes rated 1700+, he must be joking.

No matter who is on move, black has no chance to win (and based on Ohio State reasoning, should resign). With correct play by black (and resigning is incorrect, IMHO), white has no chance to win NO MATTER WHO IS ON MOVE.

OTOH, it matters not who is on move in



White wins.

If you do not know these two positions and are over 1400, you got there by accident.

Wulebgr is right. There is draw anyway. It doesnt matters which turn to move.

One of the reasons that make me be a part of RHP games and forums, is that I want to learn more and more about the game, if I am rated 1400+ I am have no control of that since ratings are automaticaly calculated.

I didn`t see the position well and made a mistake since Ke7 is a draw, objetive completed, I am learning, next time I see the position don`t even have to calculate.

Mistakes are for humans!!!!(and learning too)

OK this is just getting silly, wulbgr was pulling our leg

nope

(just pointing out the absurdity of the reasoning of one rabid Ohio State fan, and a few others of his ilk)
