The lesson in words

Question 1.

Try it: Which marked square can the knight jump to?

Question 3.

Try it: Checkmate in one move.

Question 6. The black bishop is checking your king.

Try it: Get out of check.

You’ve passed the rules check. Now the fun part: tactics that win games.

The king moves two squares and the rook hops over it. Once the king has moved, castling is gone for good.

Stalemate. Black isn’t in check but has no legal move, so it’s a draw.

Only on the very next move.
