Fergus,

I'm not sure I understood your response.

Does the won command don't work anymore when entered as a move?

How are we supposed to claim a win when we checkmate in a preset that does not enforce the rules?

It would make more sense for the "won" command to work as a move than the "lost" command. For losing a game we have the alternative to "resign" command, but what is the alternative when we win by checkmate and we should claim a win immediately, rather than ask the opponent to resign a checkmated position?
