I find it weird that Zero lost to his brother because of pride. I don't remember him being in such a situation before, but he's shown enough ruthlessness before that pride shouldn't get in the way of his objectives.
Schneizel's last move was forbidden.
But Lelouch couldn't use that argument since this move was all about innerfire and white king action, with pure intentions and so on.
Should Lelouch argue, he would've been seen as cheap. Truth is the match was a draw, that's all. They needed to play again. But to me a draw is already a loss for Lelouch, more over he was clearly inferor as the threefold was due to him having no more options for he lost too many pieces.

Scheizel's last move was impossible rule wise, then useless chess wise.
But was very important for image and to understand his oponent's psychology, as he stated.
