Checkmate, and the computer delivered it.

Why it is drawn this way

The same screen as won, in the other tone. Same headline, because the rule is the same. The line under it says who.

It names the mating move. A player learns more from seeing how they lost than from being told that they did.

No ad over a loss. Today's app shows the interstitial 1.2 seconds after the game ends, on top of the result. See interstitial.
