The king is not weak. In 100% of games it's the last piece to fall.

Statistically the pawn to the rightmost of the white king also survives in some 70%, while the queen only has about 49% chance of survival to the end.

The knights and the pawn in front of the queen are the first to go.

I see we haven't been matched yet. I will quit in any of these cases (I call these legal cheats, because frankly it shouldn't be allowed):

castling, obviously
en passant, obviously
promotion, obviously
horsey jumping in front of the pawns as first move (wtf)
pawns moving 2 squares (op)
bishop taking my rook (unfair, I didn't mean that last move)
me having the black (imba)

When en passant is forced but now you have to resign because you played a legal cheat

You can just declare stalemate. OP moves don’t count as legal moves.
