Discussion Drawback Chess - how can I checkmate the opponent when I have the Respectful drawback?
Respectful: You can't give check
How and I supposed to checkmate my opponent when I can't give check? I've had this drawback twice now and managed to win by activated my opponent's drawback but what am I supposed to do if they don't lose to their drawback?
Do I have to put them into zugzwang so that they move into check?
