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

An I over analysing?

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

King and queen is fully sufficient to checkmate
What’s the benefit to the game of this being a draw instead of an obvious loss to white?

They’ll fix it in chess 2.
Na the last patch to chess was 400 years ago. I don’t think it is being actively developed anymore.
