Chess

You never take the king. You say check to alert the person their king is in danger. If they can block, move, or capture to get out of check, the game continues. If they can't it's checkmate and you've won.

A Bishop captures the same way any other pieces captures, by making a legal move to another square occupied by an opponent's piece. A bishop moves as many spaces as it can along a diagonal line of squares until it comes to either an opponent's or his own piece. It may not jump over another piece and may not land on the square of a color that is different than the one it was on when the game started.

Pat means stalemate in Chess. Stalemate is a situation in chess where the player whose turn it is to move is not in check but has no legal moves. A stalemate ends the game in a draw.

I'm pretty sure if you take his king and he doesn't know he is in checkmate, it would spark a fight. Just get someone who knows the game to referee, so the guy would know that he's a loser. Answer The rule of the game is that when a player places another player in a state of checkmate it is announced - so a person should always know that he is in checkmate. By tradition, a king is never taken.

The correct announcement of "Checkmate" ends the game. To actually take the King would be considered rude and insulting in some circles.

The game of chess begins with two kings on the board, one for each side. Neither side can ever have more than one king on the board, nor can either side ever have fewer than one king on the board. The king is the essence of the game. When one of the kings is checkmated, the game is over.

Zugzwang describes a situation in which the obligation to make a move in one's turn is a serious, often decisive, disadvantage. This word comes from the German meaning "compulsion to move" and it's just that - it's your move and you have to move. Whether you want to or not. You have no choice. You cannot skip your turn. It has application in other games, but it is commonly associated with chess. In the chess world, particularly in a close endgame, it can mean having to give up a chance to win and to have to accept a draw, or it can mean having to give up a draw and having to accept a loss. Any who "push wood" on a regular basis know the in's and out's of the application of this term well. Wikipedia has a article posted, and a link is provided.

Yes, it can, as long as it doesn't put the king in check.

PS, it's "capture", not "kill".

Nothing. You may be thinking of the 50-move rule, where if 50 moves happen without a capture or a Pawn move, the game is a draw.

The chess playing computer does not explain how it makes it decisions, does not give interviews, does not sign autographs, and does not do anything other than play chess with superlative skill.

Kings in chess are different than kings in feudalism because in feudalism, the king has ultimate power, even though he may sometimes be poor because he gave out too many fiefs to the knights in exchange for protection. However, in chess, the king has almost no power at all; he can only move one space at a time unless the rook is Castling it. (Castling is when one rook has not moved any spaces at all yet, so the king is allowed one extra square to move.) It's also different because the Rook (or Castle) did not really 'attack' people, it just helped defend the king and serfs. (serfs are people almost like slaves, but they own a house and work on a fief for a knight. Their land can never be taken away from them.)

The pieces in chess all represent opposing kingdoms as would have been involved in wars of the distant past. The rooks (chariots), knights, bishops, and pawns represent the allied forces within a realm. In some early forms of chess, the queen was actually a weak piece with the same movement as the king. Later changes in the rules of movement made her the most powerful of the pieces.

The queen can move in the same manner as do rooks and bishops. This makes her powerful in attacks. But like all the other pieces, she is still used to protect the king.

A founded check is when a piece in the middle of the king and the piece moves away.

The capture of the King is the penultimate goal in the game of chess .

There are 16 chess pieces on side of a chess board. Each player receives the same number of pieces and must eliminate the other player's king to win.

Yes, but only if that results in you not being in check anymore. For instance, if it is the one that is checking you.

When your king is in check, your only option is to stop the king from being taken. Otherwise, the game is over and you've lost.

There are three ways to stop the king from being taken: move the king out of check; block the piece that has attacked the king; or -- here's the answer to your question -- capture the piece that has attacked the king.

Any of your pieces that is able to do so, including the king itself, may capture the attacking piece.

There's not a chess piece with eleven letters .

3 letters - Man

4 letters - King - Pawn - Rook

5 letters - Queen

6 letters - Bishop - Castle - Knight

8 letters - Chessman

"shock treatment."

The King is perhaps the weakest piece on the board other than a pawn. The King is the most important, but not the strongest. It can move only one square at a time, whereas other than the pawn, which can only advance two spaces on its opening move, every piece may move more than one space beyond its position.

The Queen is the most powerful on the board in terms of movement and capturing power. The King is very vulnerable in the opening and middlegame, but in the endgame where there are no Queens and very few other pieces it can become a monster of a piece.

The game is over when the king can not move and is in danger of being taken. Any piece could put a king in danger of being taken. Theoretically, a king is capable of capturing an opponent's king. However, the opponent's king would first have to have moved into check, which is an illegal move. Therefore, while a king can take a king, it can never happen.

But a king can participate in checkmating an opponent's king by contolling a square into which the opponent's king could otherwise move.

You can sacrifice a pawn but the rules do not allow for a player to surrender a pawn . The pawn must be captured in accordance to the rules of chess .

Step 1: Place the 8 white pawns from a-h2, and the 8 black pawns from a-h7.

Step 2: Place the white rooks on a1 and h1, and the black rooks on a8 and h8.

Step 3: Place the white knights on b1 and g1, and the black knights on b8 and g8.

Step 4: Place the white bishops on c1 and f1, and the black bishops on c8 and f8.

Step 5: Place the white queen on d1, the black one goes on d8.

Step 6: Almost there! Now place the white king on e1, and black goes on e8.

That is how you set up a chessboard.
