because it's not your turn. you can't move another piece until the mated player moves a piece, and they have no legal moves because they're in checkmate.
Announcing when the enemy's king is in danger is a mistake. We should stop telling people when they're in check, shouldn't correct each other if they put their king into check, and you win by taking their king
announcing when the enemy's king is in danger is a mistake. both kings must be made to understand that they are both the enemy of the people, and they are always in danger! the people win then we unite to overthrow the useless monarchies on either side of this stupid war, clear out the priesthood and military order that impose this class hierarchy upon us, and take the castles as our own! we shall work the land together for the benefit of all!
If the pawns just all turned around, they could win the game instantly!
They would have to be slightly more organized than that, otherwise they would just be defeated
Well, if they went first, then it's a quick coup. If not, they should be able to turn into enough queens, I think.
it was a joke about organized labor and the working class not currently being ready for the revolution
Yeah, this is entirely the reason.
No legal moves = turn skipped = you can capture the king.
