Hello and thank you for your site.
Can you tell me if there are any consequences for incorrectly
calling checkmate on your opponent?
In other words, if one player believes incorrectly that he has
his opponent checkmated and calls
“checkmate” when in fact there is a way for the opponent to
escape the mate by either moving the king,
blocking the attack, or capturing the attacking piece.
Does the game continue after
the incorrect statement of “checkmate” or is it a loss for the
player calling “checkmate” or a draw or stalemate?
Thank you for your time,
Doug Beckley

Dear viewer,
There should never be consequences for incorrectly calling
checkmate on your opponent.
After the position is reviewed and
found no check, checkmate, draw or stalemate, the game shall
continue as if such call had never happened.
Also, there is no limit to such premature calls.
