      I saw an analysis recently on youtube of a chess problem where if you picked the queen, you couldn’t win the game because it would always end in a tie due to the opponent being unable to make a move, so the correct choice was to get a tower instead.

      Gotta turn it into another king. Double protection, double liability!

        Do you lose if either King is checkmated, or only if both are?
