Check

Check means that a king is being threatened. A king can never actually be captured, so the other side must get out of check by moving, blocking, or capturing the checking piece.

Getting Out of Check

When you are in check you must escape. The ways to get out of check are to move the king, block the check with another piece, or capture the checking piece.

Checkmate

You win when your opponent is in check and cannot escape. That is called checkmate!

Fastest Checkmate

Chess games can last many moves, but a series of weak moves by one side can result in a very fast checkmate.

Stalemate

Stalemate occurs when there are no possible moves, but neither king is in check. Stalemate is a draw, even if one of the players has many more pieces on the board.

Other Draws

Chess games can end in draws because of stalemate, an agreement between the players, three repetitions of the same position, or 50 moves without a pawn move or a capture.

Castling

The king may move two squares to either side, with the rook moving to the other side of the king. Not legal if either piece has moved or if the king would move into, out of, or through check.
