I’m pretty sure there’s no possible solution here. You probably haven’t heard of draw situations in chess… If anyone thinks I missed something I’d be happy to be corrected and I’d be grateful.Isabella
Hi Isabella,
Thank you for taking the time to think it through so carefully. ♟️
Draw mechanisms are, of course, an essential part of chess — and questioning whether one applies here is absolutely reasonable. In this case, though, there is a way forward that avoids a draw, even if it’s far from obvious at first glance.
We appreciate your openness to being corrected, and we hope you might enjoy taking another look with fresh eyes.
