Solomon's Verdict
If the game would be drawn, you win instead.
Vverified
- Piece
- king
- Rule
- Any drawn result is converted into a win for this player unless both players have this perk.
- Conflicts
- Evaluated after draw detection. Does not prevent resignation or checkmate losses. If both players have it, draw remains draw. Repetition and agreed draw conversion should use the same terminal hook when those draw types are added.
- Emblem
- Balanced scales beneath a crown.
- Image prompt
- Simple circular badge showing scales of justice under a crown, gold and deep blue heraldic vector style, no text.
Internal implementation notes
Terminal result evaluation checks draw outcomes after they are detected. If exactly one player has Solomon's Verdict, supported draws are converted to that player's win; if both have it, the draw remains unchanged. Current engine support covers stalemate and fifty-move draws.
