“Where do these chips come from? The big question is whether any laws were violated.”Ī Hynix spokesperson told CNN Friday that it was aware of its chips being used in the Huawei phone and had started investigating the issue. “The significance of the development is that there are restrictions on what SK Hynix can ship to China,” G Dan Hutcheson, vice chair of TechInsights, told CNN. Shares in Hynix fell more than 4% on Friday after it emerged that two of its products, a 12 gigabyte (GB) LPDDR5 chip and 512 GB NAND flash memory chip, were found inside the Huawei handset by TechInsights, a research organization based in Canada specializing in semiconductors, which took the phone apart for analysis. Since the checkmate cannot be forced, though, the game is a draw.SK Hynix, a South Korean chipmaker, is investigating how two of its memory chips mysteriously ended up inside the Mate 60 Pro, a controversial smartphone launched by Huawei last week. If you're wondering how a checkmate (with help from the opponent) is possible, see below. You cannot force a checkmate with these minor pieces. But the checkmate cannot be forced without help from the opponent. King + minor piece vs king + minor pieceĬheckmate with a king and a minor piece vs another king and a minor piece is possible as long as the two minor pieces aren't bishops of the same color.
The king with two knights won't be able to checkmate unless the opponent helps. With this combinations of pieces checkmate is possible, but it cannot be forced. This is sometimes called "timeout vs insufficient material." If White runs out of time, Black would not win because it has no pieces to force checkmate. This is very important to point out as running out of time will not always mean losing the game-sometimes it's a draw.
Since the player with the black pieces can not checkmate with just the king, the game is also declared drawn. What happens if one of the players has all the pieces but the other player has just one king and the first player runs out of time? In this example, White should win-but ran out of time! But when White tries to push it to the very end, it leaves the black king without any legal moves, and so the game is a draw by stalemate. In the following example, White has one extra pawn. The following explanations should make things more clear. For people who are just learning to play chess, understanding rules like stalemate or insufficient material can be difficult. While most of the ways to win or lose a chess game above are clear, draws can be a little more complicated. At, we give the disconnected player a fair amount of time to reconnect, but not too much to make the opponent wait long for the game to finish. In this case, a timeout loss is assigned to the disconnected player. Timeout can also happen by disconnection, when one player is no longer connected to the server.
#ITS A CHECKMATE PRO#
Managing your time and using it carefully across the game is critical.īelow you can see an example from the Pro Chess League where Andrew Tang was able to win by timeout in a very complicated position. If your opponent does not have the minimum amount of material for checkmate and you run out of time, the game is a draw-even if you were winning. If you run out of time, you automatically lose the game if your opponent has the minimum material required to force a checkmate. It does not matter how much of an advantage you have on the board or whether you have checkmate in one move. Timeout is a painful way to lose a chess game.
