No. The only way to win a standard (untimed) game of chess is by checkmating your opponent's king; that is, putting the king under threat of capture with no legal escape. You can also win a timed game if your opponent runs out of time.
The only piece that has any different effect on the game upon reaching the opponent's back row is the pawn, which is immediately promoted to a queen, rook, bishop, or knight.

In Siegbert Tarrasch's the game of Chess, he advised that one might want to study the endgame first, inclusive of the notoriously confusing. Q vs R finishing. reality is, i might want to have provide up chess before I performed my first sport had I observed his suggestion. The e book is unquestionably really sturdy, regardless of if all you keep in mind of it ten years later is that the author seems honestly particular that he's correct about each and every thing. a actual dogmatist, in different words. Q vs R is continually a win for the Q, except, for sure, contained in the trivial difficulty the position the weaker side can at present stress a draw or a win. i assume quite some the GM situations the position the stronger side did not win exceeded off even as he develop into in time stress and ran up hostile to the 50-bypass rule. if you're taking section in on-line you may cheat and look it up on a tablebase website, yet do not try this. it may fairly get you kicked out of the club. you'll under no circumstances discover an section to play it really is as sturdy because the ICC.

NO! Your king must be placed in checkmate in order for your opponent to win - period. Getting a pawn to the opposite side allows the owner of that pawn to exchange it for a captured piece.
