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. 🙄

What's the game number Stees? and how come you've time for chess while you're still alive in WWG?(last bit is a private thing)
Originally posted by @kewpie 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?
Technically against the rules. If he cannot find a way out of check he loses on time.
You just helped him in active game. 😲

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
