minus-squareThe Picard ManeuverOPlinkfedilink18•9 months agoNo, because the white queen is actively putting the black king in check.
minus-square@bobby_hilllink24•9 months agoThat’s a queen, got it. I’m on mobile and they both looked like kings. Thanks for the explanation.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-3•9 months agoBlack can’t move either way, so it’s check mate.
minus-square@bobby_hilllink9•9 months agoIf black can’t move and they’re not in check, it’s not checkmate; it’s stalemate. But OP clarified that the white piece is a queen and not a king, and that’s what makes it checkmate, since she is checking the king.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•9 months agoOh well, I have been playing this game all wrong then.
