How’s this a ‘checkmate’ ?!

can somebody elucidate, how's this a checkmate?! if the black queen eats my queen, my king will eat their queen. If the black rook comes down,i will still have room & turns to move my king around to a safe place. How's it a checkmate then? #chess #chessbaseindia

♟️Afternoon of chess and donuts

My mom was a worthy opponent, but I still won 3 out of 5 haha. The figures on the board are made of wood and represent the Mapuches (an indigenous people of my country) against the Spanish settlers. #boardgames (edited)

The term "checkmate" originates from the Persian phrase "shah mat," which means "the king is helpless" or "the king is dead." This phrase was used in the context of chess, a game that was first played in India and later spread to Persia. As chess traveled through the Persian Empire and into the... read more

Helping others get good together

I always believe in helping others get good at chess together. If you are below 1,000 Elo and want some help, you can always hit me up :) Chess is tricky. Just like pawn endgames. This concept is called Zugzwang. 1800 vs 1760.
