Mate in One 3

What conditions must be met for checkmate? Before checkmate occurs, several requirements must be fulfilled:

1. The opposing king is in check.
2. The king cannot escape.
3. No defender can block the check.
4. The attacking piece cannot be captured.

In this lesson, aim to fulfill all these conditions and deliver checkmate in one move.

Fun fact: Did you know that the fastest way to deliver checkmate is called “Fool’s Mate”? It happens in just two moves and leaves the king with no escape options.

What do you have to do?

What should you do?Look for a move that delivers immediate checkmate. Give a check and control all escape squares around the enemy king.
