Some guy in NC is rated 200 points higher than what you say you are, and is only 18. You are not the top rated Under 19 player in the state,

Try:
31 Holmes, Adam A 18 NC 2027
54 Green, Matthew R 18 NC 1919
64 Jodrey, Joshua David 18 NC 1875

No one from NC with your rating listed is present.

As for the question, it's been answered.

Answer 3

First, make sure that any square that your opponent's King could possibly move to is covered (attacked) by one or more of your own pieces. It's OK if the enemy King is "trapped" by his own men (i.e. that he can't move to certain adjacent squares because they're already occupied by his own men)

Then, attack the King. This will put him in check.

But before you attack the King, make sure that your attacking piece can't be captured on the next move by your opponent.

Finally, make sure that any piece that could possibly interpose itself between your attacking piece and your opponent's King can be safely captured by your attacking piece.... for example, if your Queen delivers the "check" along a diagonal, it's OK if your opponent can interpose a piece between your Queen and his King (even if it's a Bishop, which would then be attacking your Queen) as long as your Queen can SAFELY capture the piece and keep your opponent's King in check.

Once your opponent's King is in check and he can't (1) move his King out of check (2) capture your attacking piece or (3) interpose a piece to shield his King from your attack, then you've won the game.

You obviously don't HAVE to make sure the King is on the edge of the board (or in a corner square) in order to do this...it's just that it's often easier that way because the King as fewer potential escape squares when he's posted at the edge of the board or in a corner).

Answer 4

one of the best ways to mate the king , is to try use your casles and queen , if you can get his king on the bacl squares the providing you see no problems with his pieses , on the board , you should move your queen down to the last but one line , so that he cannot move of the back line , then before you make the mate , make sure that the queen can move to let say a black square , and then move your castle down to the back line , make sure that he can not take your casle and then call check mate

Answer 5

YOU MATE A PERSON IN CHESS WHEN THE OTHER PERSON CANNOT MOVE THEIR KING TO ANOTHER POSITION IN ORDER NOT TO BE TAKEN OR WHEN THEY CANNOT PUT ANOTHER PIECE IN FRONT OF OR ON THE SIDE OF THE KING IN ORDER FOR THE KING NOT TO BE TAKEN OR WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER PIECE THAT CAN TAKE THE PIECE THAT IS PUTTING YOUR KING IN CHECK

Answer 6

Checkmate is when the king is under attack and can't get out of it. The three ways of getting out of check are: move the king, capture the attacking piece, and move a piece between the king and the attacking piece. Good luck!

Answer 7

You can only mate the king and if he has no way to prevent you from taking him as mentioned by jsardi56 then it is checkmate.

Answer 8

Generally, put the chess board away and "get it on"
