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.

Not normally.

In most standard games, the player who made the illegal move must retract his move and play another one. If the piece he moved can prevent the check, he must move that piece. Otherwise, he may make any legal move he wishes.

If the person who didn't make the legal move has less than 5 minutes remaining on his clock, he may claim an extra 2 minutes should his opponent make an illegal move.

Sometimes in blitz or lightning (buzzer) Chess, taking the king is allowed.

Do you have to say check when you are in target with a king in chess?

Yes. If you have your opponents king under threat, you have to say check. If you have their king in a position to take it and they have no move left to save it, you say checkmate.No, you don't have to say check or checkmate. I used to play in USCF tournaments and we never did.

What is brinkmate?

Brinkmate (必死, hisshi) in shogi is threatmate (詰めろ, tsumero) with no escape, like how checkmate (詰み, tsumi) is check (王手, oute) with no escape.And just like how check is a threat to capture the king, threatmate is a threat to check the king repeatedly, ending with checkmate.Note: this should not be confused with a bankrank mate in which the king is in the back row and the pawns block the kings escape.

Depends on how you won. If you checked your opponent's king and he cannot block the check, capture the checking piece, or move his king away, you win by checkmate. If your opponent tips his king over and says "I resign" You win by resignation. If your opponent runs out of time in his/her clock, you win by time. If your opponent is 30+min. late, you win by "no-show".

Can you use some other pieces in chess to prevent check?

Yes, if the king is in check, the next move must take the king out of check. You do not necessarily have to move the king, you could take the attacking piece, or block the check by moving a piece in the way.


Can a king take another chess piece in checkmate?

Depends by which rules and standards you are going by. Some say no and if you take another piece to get out of check-mate then it was technically just check, other rules state that its check-mate if all other avenues of movement are blocked and the only way out of check-mate is to take the piece then yes it is possible.
