Suicide Endgame basics: King vs. King

Hi guys, I'm Haiku575, renowned expert of suicide chess and and retired King of the Nerds. I'm here to teach basic endgame theory of Suicide, and I hope you guys enjoy it.

The first thing to know is the basic rules of suicide chess: the goal is to get rid of your pieces, and whenever your opponent can take a piece you have, he must take it. And vice versa. If more than one piece can be taken, he can choose which piece to take.

Next, if you are stalemated, that counts as a win for you. If it is your turn and you have no legal moves on the board, you win automatically. Keep that in mind.

Anyway:

In this position, White wins by force after:

But you may be wondering: what happens if the Kings are not right next to each other?

The results are pretty easy to remember. If it is your turn, and it takes an even number of turns to reach the other King's square, you draw or lose, because if you try to reach the enemy King it will be his turn on the move before the Kings are able to take each other, and he can force the win. A quick example:

If it takes an odd number of moves to reach the enemy King's square, you still draw. However, if the enemy King tries to take the initiative and reach you first, you can force the game to end.

Next up, I'll start looking into pawn and Rook endgames, which is slightly more complicated.

King vs King is draw by insufficient material.  1/2-1/2

and you can't win when it's stalemate ether it's a draw

For some reason, the two posters above me decided to help revive a thread originally created in 2013, without bothering to read the actual thread itself.

The thread is about a variant of chess called Suicide Chess in which the goal is to lose all your pieces. It has different rules. King vs King is not immediately a draw, and you can draw to win.
