Source unknown, some sites assign it to Oppressive Silence comics by Ethan Vincent. But that website in the corner is shady

      Queen moves into a space that stops king from moving as you cannot move into a check. It’s a forced draw.

        Huh? I thought having no valid moves that wouldn’t lead to the king’s death was a loss. How DO you lose then?

          Have to put him in check, while also preventing him from moving into another spot that could also put him into check.

          This would likely have been a stalemate anyway.

          Edit: the bishop’s existence didn’t even register to me when I made this comment. More pieces are better, and yes, King and Queen are sufficient to mate. However, the fewer the pieces you have, the lower your chances of success.

        How is it a draw is both black bishop and king are still playing? Queen moves back, white king moves anywhere it wants and for good sake do a proper check mate

        An I over analysing?
