I just played this, i am using white can someone show me my next my last move to checkmate?


This stupid game don give me headache.
I'd say move ur queen 2 square up to check the king. It'd be game over cos the king wouldn't be able to kill the queen without the rook killing him vise versa.

The white piece close to computer king is my queen. While the other white is my king.

Check the shape of their head,
Oooooookkkkkaaayyyy!!!!!!! That's where I'm getting it wrong! King and queen, so you have just only one move to checkmate then! Move 2 squares closer to the opponent's king. cool

i have seen it now he has no bishop that piece is queen and the other is king so moving two steps up checkmate the king. But the queen looks like bishop.

Yeah! You are right! The queen looks like the bishop from the rear view.

There's this thing computer does sometimes i don't understand. When i've killed all but the king,blocked all his route, it'd end the game as draw cos there's no safe place for the king to go. How true is that?
its called stalemate. A situation where by the king is not in check and his next move will place him in check and the person as no other game to play. Try to avoid stalemate always do not take chances like Rick9 with four queens and the game was drawn.

Stalemate occurs if the king is not in check and no valid moves left for the king or pawns.

why is it that in chess queen wear shower cap? Lol

Chess is ancient game that originate around 1500. Then a king crown usually looks like the one in chess and same as the queen. Not like this modern age where everything is modernized. Different crown shapes

As potential grandmasters we should learn the habit of using chess notations to describe moves and record our games

Chess notation are being used since 600 A.D. The idea is to record the moves made by both players. You get different types of chess notation but we will only look at the most convenient one - the algebraic system.

Here we use the letters a-h for the files and the numbers 1-8 for the rows. Each square is identified by a letter followed by a number. A chess player records his moves by writing down the moves made with the chess pieces.

The following method/sequence is use to record the moves 1. the piece symbol, 2. the departure square, 3. type of move (-) for a normal move and (x) for a capture, 4. the destination square. This is referred to as the long algebraic notation the short algebraic notation you only use numbers 1 and 4.

In diagram 1 we have the algebraic notation from white’s point of view and in diagram 2 we have the algebraic notation from black's point of view. In the table we have the symbols, names and values of each piece. The pawn symbol is not used in the algebraic notation but the square on which it stands is used. e.g. 1.e2-e4.

The pieces are measured in pawns as the pawn is the smallest unit in the army. See
table 1 for the details on the chess pieces symbols, names and value. The values should assist you to make good decisions when exchanging off pieces.

With chess notation players can play blindfold chess. This is done by putting a blindfold over the eyes of the opponents or one of the opponents. The moves are then announced by the opponents and played on the chessboard by another person.

Because of chess notation, nations can play against its other without understanding each others language and the complete visually impaired person can play against a person with eyesight. It is important to note that white always start the game first at this stage.

I know the feeling. That's the beauty of chess. When you're feeling your moves, thinking you've arrived, your opponent will just make a move and all your plans will be shattered.

Just move either the rook or queen a square forward to the row the opponent's king is.

"i dey vex the way una dey play d game, una no sabi go watch this film (i don 4get d name) una go see as d children dey play d game"

and i said

"na one day dem dey take learn chess"

he just shut up.

Some people think chess is like checkers (draught) in whice u just push ur tiles without making plans to attack and defend.
