I am playing a game where my opponent has only one possible move to avoid mate but can't find it. After she makes her move I can then capture that piece and win. Can I inform her of the move? Is that allowed since I am her opponent?

Thanks,
Drew

If it is a friendly, then no problem. perhaps you are tutoring her?

However, are these the games?

Game 4768869

Game 4768838

Both of those are from a tournament and your fellow tournament players might frown on another player getting outside help. And if it is a clan game, then absolutley no.

Did the picture in her user profile sway your decision? User 413244 😛😛

A picture IS worth a thousand moves, er, I mean words.

i think the 1,000 moves would be more fun, she doesn't look that attractive to me.
