Body: <p>I've attached a screen shot of my game. It is Black’s turn to move. Their king was under check, but not checkmate, as the website didn't show mate.</p>

  <p>After awhile, Black had to resign due to not being able to make any valid move.  Analyzing the game with a computer results in the move 41. gxh3 being suggested.</p>
  
  <p>How is that possible?</p>
