Result text for importing games ending with 1-0 or 0-1 #10519

Closed dlbbld closed 2 years ago

When importing a game in Lichess with a result of 1-0, the result becomes "Black resigned • White is victorious". But the reason for 1-0 can be either Black resignation, Black timeout, arbiter decision, game wrongly reported and maybe more.

Therefore, if there is no checkmate, we can only say "White won" or equally "Black lost", where I prefer the first. The same applies to 0-1.

Which does not apply to games played in Lichess, where I assume the reason for the result is available.

For example, in this game Shirov flagged against Carlsen: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2174023

So it's incorrect to say that White resigned, White never resigned in that game: Printscreen import result
