A game of chess is won when a player cannot make a move to prevent their king being captured in the next turn. In this way the position is called "checkmate". Another way to win a game of chess is through resignation, or, if the game is timed, then a player may win if his opponent's clock reaches zero.
"Ideally you would want to get your opponent's general in a position where he has no way out. This is known as a checkmate. Players must also know that they are not allowed to maneuver more than three consecutive checks. If you can't secure a checkmate then the other way of winning is by securing a stalemate. In international chess a stalemate results in a draw. This is not the case with Chinese chess. If you can manage to block your opponent in such a manner that he has no legal move to maneuver then it is known as a stale mate and this is the alternative way to secure a win without having to checkmate your opponent's general." Therefore there is no stalemate for Chinese Chess!
"Two-Move Checkmate" (also known as "Fool's Mate") is the quickest possible checkmate in chess ; example consists of the moves :1. f3 e52. g4?? Qh4#
A mating attack is a combination of moves designed to achieve checkmate rather than just win pieces.
no,check means that the king is in danger of being captured but may evade it in some waycheckmate means that the game is over because the king has no way to escape capture
In chess, to win the exchange is to win a rook (castle) in exchange for either a bishop or knight. Since the value of the rook is considered five, and the knight and bishop about three (with the bishop counted as 3.5 by some, for its ability to checkmate when two are present), the two point win is referred to as 'the exchange'.
It's possible to win a chess game with any set or number of pieces
Yes. In the game of chess, the only way to win is to trap the king so that no move can be made to save it.
There are only two outcomes: you win or you draw. In some play, it is considered a draw if you have not been able to mate within 30 moves or if the same set of moves is repeated 5 times.
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".
Their are 4 ways to end a chess game Resignation-The player suddenly notices he is going to lose and gives up Draw-The players agree to a draw, a tie Stalemate-The King cannot move anywhere but is not in check Checkmate-........Checkmate!!!
