You don't have to get so complicated to show a mate in this case. You can mate with KB vs KB as long as the bishops are on opposite color. On ICC a draw is declared immediately if you have K vs K, KB vs K, KN vs K, KN vs KN, or KB vs KB. If you have only a K, KN, or KB, and your opponent flags, you get a draw. ICC varies from FIDE in many cases I suspect. What is the situation here? I have an older FIDE rule book, but I can't find anything about these insufficient material cases. Can anyone quote a current rulebook with an applicable rule? bruce
