[Harry Potter] What would have happened if Ron ran away?

In the first film (I am not sure it's exactly the same in the book) Ron rides the knight Chess piece during the wizard chess game. The last 3 moves in the match go as follows: Ron moves to check the king; the opposition queen moves out of Harry's way and takes Ron's knight piece; Harry moves to checkmate and wins the game. Harry and Ron both know all 3 of those moves are going to happen before they happen. 

So here's the question. If Ron had moved the knight to threaten the king and then immediately lept of and ran towards his starting side, what would have happened? The knight would still be there threatening the king and he would have had sufficient space to run, unlike at the beginning of the game.

No, it wouldn't, because Ron *was* the knight, as far as the game was concerned. The horse he was on was just a prop. At best they would be down a piece for no benefit, at worst it might be considered a forfeit.
