Crazy BUG on Lichess!

Online chess can't do the "insufficient chances" rule. Most tournament directors can't even get it right. :p

White can't mate black king, with lonely bishop. Still, checkmate is possible only if I block my king with pawn in a white corner. I thought it was draw, minimum.
He can still checkmate you. You'd have to mess up but it's still possible
Infinite chess monkey theorem: if an infinite number of chess playing monkeys move randomly some of them will be checkmated.

Infinite chess monkey theorem paradox: It is by far more likely that a human knowing the chess rules gets checkmated* if he plays against a chess monkey, than a chess monkey playing* against a human knowing the chess rules.

*Playing as black in the above example
