@strutheo Check out today's game 11 on Lichess, 5. ...Bg4 was a novelty

@strutheo We're up to six draws now.

A player loses a game on time (doesn't include not showing up to the game)

bought Ṁ220 A player loses a gam... YES

@ADings Ding lost on time in Game 3

@R2D2sm5g not up to me to resolve it
@strutheo

@ADings to clarify -- if a game ever reaches a tablebase draw, and later ends in a victory, then this resolves yes? E.g. if a tablebase-drawn position is reached and then one of the players blunders and gets checkmated

@diracdeltafunk I'm sorry, I don't follow. What exactly is needed to clarify?

@ADings I guess I want to make sure that it would count for only a single position (1 ply) in the game to be a tablebase draw.

@diracdeltafunk Okay. Yes that would count.

@ADings cheers, thanks!

@strutheo Resolves yes as of Game 2

a player plays an opening with an animal name

@strutheo Since this is Manifold, where stupid semantics rule the world, I'm going to put it out there that according to Wikipedia, female cats are called queens, which means that CLEARLY the Queen's Gambit opening will make this resolve YES :-)

@ADings does this include resignation?

@Nightsquared No
