The pawn can checkmate the king but only in conjunction with at least one other piece to protect the pawn from capture by the king and at least one enemy piece placed near the king so that it cuts off any escape avenues the king would have. If a pawn places a king in check and the king is completely surrounded by his own pieces in such a way that its only move would be capture the pawn and if no enemy piece is placed so that it can capture that pawn and if the pawn is protected from capture by one of its own pieces, the pawn has checkmated the king.

How do you beat majestic chess level5 black annis' bower?
idk the proper terms and stuff but... 1. move the bishop in front of the pawn putting the king in check also. The pawn will capture the bishop 2. Use your queen to take the pawn, which puts the king in check. The other king will move out of the way to avoid check. 3. move the queen diagonally intro the same file as the rook to complete the checkmate. :) I saved the game before I did this, bought a scroll of wisdom and used it. Then, I reloaded the game and completed it
The best chess tactics and strategies?
In a king pawn opening (with white), use openings that attack the opponent's king pawn on e5, e.x. Scotch, Spanish, King's Gambit, Goldreng Gambit, or the Ponziani openings. With black, defend your e5 pawn the best you can with reasonable moves, or play the French, Russian, or the Sicilian. With the queen pawn opening, I highly recommend the Queen's Gambit for white, and to defend against it, accept the gambit and prevent the opponent from gaining effective tempo and castle queen-side, or decline with the move e6 and later castle king-side. In the middle game, get your pieces to the best positions possible and with like pieces/ with supportive pieces. In the endgame, center the king and attempt to promote the pawns remaining while avoiding checkmate and attempting checkmate.

How do you win the game of chess?
Checkmate them, Make them resign. those are the only ones. ============================================ The object of the game of chess is to checkmate your opponent's king. Placing your opponent's king in check means that his king is threatened with being captured by one or more of your pieces on your next move. A player whose king has been placed in check has three options: move his king out of check; block the opponent's piece giving the check with one of his own pieces (note: in the case of a knight giving the check, this option is not possible); or capture the opponent's piece that is giving the check. If a player is unable to overcome the check in one of those ways, that player's king has been checkmated and the game has been lost. Often, a player will realize that his position on the chessboard is hopeless and that having his king checkmated by his opponent is inevitable. In such circumstances, that player will usually resign the game. The symbolic gesture of resignation is to lay one's king on its side.

Can you use a rook as a queen in chess?
In the event that one player moves a pawn to the other side of the board, the pawn is "promoted" to any piece that player wants. It does not have to be a piece that has already been captured. This means that a player can get a second Queen if the original queen has not been taken. Since the original queen is still on the board it cannot be used as the second queen. If that player has lost a rook, that rook is turned upside down and put on the board to represent the second queen.
When pawn becomes a queen?
No, a player gets only one move at a time. Once the player moves the pawn to the back rank, the pawn is promoted to any piece the player chooses. Then it is the other player's move. Thus it is possible to checkmate the other king immediately upon the pawn's promotion.
