| Jul 3, 2020 at 22:43 | comment | added | Bit Chaser | I asked a more specific version of this question at chess.stackexchange.com/questions/30243/… . Thanks, Steve, for bringing up the idea. I wondered if I should leave it for you, but the answers here talk about the vagueness of the definition, so I felt there should be a more specific question. | |

| Jul 3, 2020 at 15:55 | comment | added | Jeffrey | Would the question "how often do GM miss checkmate and go on to lose or draw the game?" make more sense? If your going to win later anyway, you can claim you didn't really miss it. | |
| Jul 3, 2020 at 12:10 | comment | added | Carsten S | Theoretically, each position is either a draw or a forced checkmate for one side. | |

| Jul 3, 2020 at 6:50 | comment | added | stevec | @AKP2002 good question. I don’t think so, I am very much interested in when a forced mate is possible (but missed), and the very next move a forced mate is no longer possible | |
| Jul 3, 2020 at 6:46 | comment | added | AKP2002 | Is a # in 2 consider missed if the player takes 2 or three move longer ( without losing the forced mate ) | |
