ICC Help: result

Command:	result
Example:	"result 1-0"

This is an examine-mode command intended for entering or broadcasting games played in over-the-board tournaments. The result description must exactly match one of the result descriptions that ICC automatically generates, or else be one of the simple results 1-0, 0-1, or 1/2-1/2. The ones you might want to use include:

result 1-0 result 1/2-1/2 result 0-1 result Black resigns result Black checkmated result Black forfeits on time result Game drawn by mutual agreement result Black stalemated result Game drawn by repetition result Game drawn by the 50 move rule result Game adjourned by mutual agreement result Game in progress

or one of the above with "White" instead of "Black". For any result other than "Game in progress", the clocks are stopped (for Blitzin users, anyway). Observers and examiners will receive text such as "Game 2: Black resigns". The moves and pgn commands will include the result at the end of the move list. If you use libkeepexam to save an examined game that has a result, and the short form of the result (+, -, =, or *) matches the sense of the result, the details of that result will be preserved. This lets you set the specific outcome of historical games in your liblist, instead of always having "Black resigns" for any game White won.

A side effect of the result command is that the move list to that point is confirmed, in a sense. This affects the behavior of the "revert" command and also means you can go forward after going backward.
