No checkmating Material

I am really pissed off right now - I just lost a game on time when both of us had nothing but the same colour bishops (which is literally impossible for either side to checkmate).

That needs changing - FAST! it makes a good site look completely amateurish if the basic rules of chess cannot be enforced.

"same colour bishops"

It is very possible for both players to deliver checkmate from that position. Not knowing the rules makes you look very amateurish.

LOL pwned.

Checkmate is possible!

Of course the bishops have the same color: they’re both opposite of the color of their square.

Play with increment, problem solved.

@Sarg0n I give that reply the "Forum post of the day" Award.

Fun fact: the last time @tpr played with an increment was 5 months ago.

black bishop on g8
black king on h8
white king on h6
white bishop on f6
