These are conservatives in f.i.d.e. photo, they have to be. Standing pat against these woodpushers is one alternative. When Mad Queen overtook Shatranj, it's hard to imagine their work was based on more than 10 or 100 CVs in their workshop. ''Mediaeval ingenuity had more commonsense than we do today.'' They cut to the quick and the heart of the matter. Evidently they were more intuitively intelligent in view how long their brainstorm lasted. Nothing namby pamby there. CVPage has broadened CV knowledge with now millions of alternative CVs at its disposal allowing for trivial tweaks. Absolutely certain is that the correct next stage of Chess is in this website's grasp, providing for multiple stamps of approval not just one. So long as it stands pat (I am addressing peripheral entities I know of too), it plays into the hands of entrenched Orthodoxy. CVPage becomes their embarrassing step-sister and sororal bastion of orthodoxy, insofar as it does not even try to hierarchize collected material. F.I.D.E. and CVPage would probably not be on speaking terms, and it serves each one's interest but shirks responsibility. Now one recent commenter-naysayer has a good point. Reform may indeed come from the top-down among players. It is the upper echelon who are sick and tired of sitting down to dinner for the same tired course. The chess master sits down to the table and extends his grasping paw to touch the same tiresome fork-Bishop, knife-Knight, and spoon-fed-Rook. Poor guy. No wonder he's hungry for new challenge. Going nuts, or gone bananas, like Fischer -- to extend the metaphor.

Question..
Playing a grade school tournament both players have a King and a Bishop.
Player 'W' flag falls
Is it a win (as it is possible to playout and win.. time permitting) or is
it a a draw?

I'm confused by:

6.10

Except where Articles 5.1 or one of the Articles 5.2 (a), (b) and (c)
apply, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the
allotted time, the game is lost by the player. However, the game is drawn,
if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player`s
king by any possible series of legal moves, even with the most unskilled
counterplay.

and

'If your flag falls and your opponent has insufficient material to win on
time, the game is a draw.
Insufficient material is when (1) one’s opponent has only a lone king; (2)
one’s opponent has only
king and bishop or king and knight, and does not have a forced win; or
when (3) one has no
pawns and one’s opponent has only king and two knights and no forced win
(§14E)'

Josh asks, 'May A King Attack When it is in check?'

Answer: Certainly. Thus if your opponent's Queen moves next to your King
and checks it, your King can simply take the Queen (unless your opponent
has that checking square protected by another piece of theirs.  

Remember: Kings cannot move into check.  Nor can they castle while in
check, nor can they castle through a check. But they can certainly capture
other [unprotected] pieces while in check.
