1. Checkmate patterns (K & R vs K),
2. The 50 move rule. (…without a capture…)
GL You got this!
Thanks for the support, but I hate to break it to you - i'm the one with the king and the bot has a rook and king
Yes, the 50-move rule works against bots. I've played my Lichess BOT and it works. I'm not sure about Chess.com though. If I recall correctly I think I remember that it does work on some.
Hope this Helps!
I'm black and I only have a King left, the White Bot (800) has a King and a Rook.
I'm already on move 152, where I did more than 50 moves with only my single left piece King, no captures, the Bot moves its King, and only the Rook when I get close to capture it.
It should've been Pat already a while ago, and the only option I'm given is to Surrender.
So no, apparently it is not working properly against a Bot.
I've been versing the boxbox bot, and somehow it can't checkmate with a rook and king vs a king, and since you can't draw with bots, does the fifty move rule still apply, since you have to claim a draw, not force one?
