    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?

    The answer was en passant Kewps.I've told Steve after he sent me a pm about it.

    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
