[Bug][Spoilers] Black winning via a cheat

[Kamek]

If black has no other valid moves, it will take the white king with the black queen, despite the rule against affairs.

Normally black avoids taking the white king with the black queen, and you can even chase it around the board. Which made me think that forcing this to happen would be an achievement/ending, where you accuse black of cheating posthumously.

So I captured all but black's king and queen, and waited for it to be forced to cheat, using the revenge cheats to move black's king and queen outside the board, and block the queen's path back onto the board with the white king.

This caused black to immediately take the white king with their queen, violating the rule, but all I got was a normal game over.

That's a very extreme scenario, but I agree.

In general if the Troll somehow moves any of his piece to capture the white king illegally, we should have the option to appeal.

Or just hard code him to not do it at all. Worst case he can still move your king in his turn when he runs out of valid moves. So capturing your king illegally can be totally avoided.

The troll cannot ever take the white king during the game using cheats. The move will be given a score of -999 if it would. The very extreme scenario posted above forces all other moves to be -999 as well, which causes the black queen to capture the white king. But this can never happen during normal play. I do want to commend you for doing this , I never even thought about the possibility of this! Nice one :D

but the troll can move white king right? how can it be forced to do a -999 move? unless moving a white king is also -999
