Someone that knows about chess. If im in check and on the next move i checkmate my opponent , who win?

Question

I need someone that knows about chess rules. I am in check so its my turn to move while being in check, if on that exact move i checkmate my opponent without having checked him before? Who wins????

Im not checking him on my next move im checkmating him...the logic and doubt behind my question is that...when u checkmate the opponent the game is over... u win...so even if im in check if i checkmate him on this move...shouldnt the game be over???

im not away from check when i do this move...i can move away from his check but that would take another move then i can move into checkmating him...and yes is posible to checkmate someone without having checked first... thats why i have doubt over who wins this game u know...

i wish i could take a picture or something about the chess table so u could see the pieces... its quite something...

Answer 1

The rules of the game are perfectly clear. If your opponent puts you in check, then your next move MUST be to get yourself out of check. Any move which does not get you out of check is illegal for you. ANY MOVE. If checkmating your opponent does not get you out of check, it is an illegal move, and you cannot do it.

Answer 2

This isn't really anything special... if you are in check YOU MUST GET OUT OF IT, a check is THREAT to capture your king, even though a king's capture cannot happen. So, if have the possibility to checkmate your opponent while in check, the only way to win by checkmate in the move after is by blocking the check and at the same time, mating the other king...

And BTW, Vladimir Kramnik is a Cheater LOL.

Answer 3

Only if with that same move - which puts him into checkmate - you move out of your check, then you win. Your king can not be in check once that move is done.
If usch a move really exists than you only need to announce "check" - if he is checkmate he knows. That does not need to be announced.

Or expressed otherwise: your first priority is to move out of your check situation to a none check situation.
2nd priority is to check or checkmate the other king and all other moves.

However - I can not imagine any such constellation where you can move out of a check and at the same time checkmate your opponent. but this may be because I never really had thought that scenario through.

Answer 4

If you are playing bullet or blitz chess in real life, it is legal to make an illegal move, as long as your opponent doesnt notice he can capture your king. For this reason it is also is legal to capture the other person's king, which results in you rwinnign the game. If a guy happens to be in checkmate, you can assume he will capture your king to win and 'get out' of it. There are various ways illegal moves are handled in chess, but suffice to say that illegal moves simply never happen in anything outside of game in 10 or less, unless one of the players is a complete beginner.

Answer 5

So long as that move that puts him in checkmate also takes you out of check, meaning if he was not put in checkmate and your king would not be in checkmate on his next turn, you win. If your move that puts him in checkmate does not take your king out of check, then it is an illegal move and you cannot do it. When king is in check, your move must take him out of danger before anything else, even if you can put your opponent in checkmate.

Answer 6

There are three ways to get out of check: take the piece that's checking your king, move your king, or move another piece between the checking piece and your king (this doesn't work with a knight check). So if you are able to move a piece which simultaneously blocks or removes the check and puts the other king in checkmate, then you win. In my mind, that would be pretty rare.

Answer 7

Your checkmate is legal only if your king is not in check at the time you moved the piece to put him into checkmate. If when you moved your piece to put him in checkmate, you brought your king out of checkmate by blocking him with that piece, you do in fact win. However, if your king is still in check even after you put him in checkmate, it is an illegal move and must be taken back.

Answer 8

When you are in check, the only legal moves are those which remove you from check, either by moving your king, capturing the checking piece or blocking it. A move that leaves your king in check is never a legal move, even if it results in checkmating your opponent.

Answer 9

if you are in check, you MUST move your king. So checkmating your opponent with any piece other than the king is illegal.

Answer 10

if you can place him in checkmate while relieving the check on yourself than you are... if you checkmate him and you have no relief then it is an illegal move...
