:marseychessknight: maxxers, is this game winnable?

I dun did a 40 move-er and got bamboozled into a tie.

Let your clock run out and at the last possible second make your move and hope your opponent had a heart attack while waiting.

If you're white, you're fricked and get a checkmate against you in minimum 11 moves unless the black player plays really stupidly.

What's that pawn doing then? King + Knight + Queen is checkmate

The pawn can't advance without being taken by the white king. The knight can't move because it's protecting the pawn. The black king can't do anything useful, since moving to guard the pawn also blocks the white king into stalemate.

Oh I'm r-slurred I didn't see the letters on the board were backwards and the board was flipped.

It's still possible to do, he just needs to move the knight out of the way, force white king to the top row and defend the pawn with his king to queen it.

I don't think so. There's no way to separate him from the pawn to safely promote it.

And if you move the king up to support the pawn so you can reposition the knight, it puts him in stalemate.
