👉 Overmatches is a term used in chess terminology to describe a situation where one player's move, or position, is stronger than that of their opponent. This can happen when an opponent's piece moves too far away from the board and the player who made this move has no way to counteract it. The overmatch may also refer to a situation where both players have equal strength but are unable to make any significant moves, as they are so close in power that their positions are indistinguishable.
