"The trainer AI repeatedly sent pieces back in time and eventually emptied another board to force a draw - all to prevent this checkmate from happening.

Well played."

You may be wondering "Wait, why doesn't the opponent's king just move backwards?" Well, the king isn't just in check in the present. That same piece can still capture the king by moving one space north and one turn into the past - and the king can't save its past self because of the army of alternate-timeline pieces taking up the two bottom rows that would capture it in the present if it tried.

So the AI just forced a stalemate instead.
