I'm not a chess guy but...

Isn't this game suppose to "White wins!"? Pretty sure the black king is stuck, so the white calls checkmate...

I'm not a good chess player myself, but as it seems, you have got the black king in a check mate with your pawn and queen, as the only two ways the black king can move gets him deeper into trouble.

But isn't there a move called "Rochade", where you can exchange the tower with the king?
That would at least move the black king out of the check, but would never get Black to win in one move.

The queen is in the way... white won. The computer cheated by just saying black won!

So in order to use the Rochade move, there has the be no one in between the tower and the king, is that right?

white won.

Agree.

It looks like White won. The pawn was in place and the Bishop checked.

I believe that what you are referring to is Castling.

You can have a King side or Queen side castle. Here are the rules:

You may only castle when :

All the squares between your king and rook are unoccupied.

• The king has not moved yet
• The rook involved in the castle has not moved yet
• The king is not in check
• The king will not move into check
• The king will not move through a square being attacked

A King-side castling move may be made if neither the king nor the king-side rook has yet moved in the game and both squares between the king and the king-side rook are unoccupied.

A Queen-side castling move may be made if neither the king nor the queen-side rook has yet moved in the game and all three squares between the king and the queen-side rook are unoccupied.

white won by check mate
how did the comp say black wins?

Also, if my history serves me correctly you can't perform the 'Castling' while in check.

Thanks for the information, sushi.

Where I come from, we have french terms for some moves, so the term "Castling" is alien to me.
I know that move as "Rochade", but wasn't aware of the specific rules of no one being between king/queen and tower.

Ah, I see. Learn something everyday! Now I know "Castling" and "Rochade" are the same. Cool!

As you can see, there are quite a few rules that must be met before you can castle.

Fun to block an opponent's castle via them moving across a square that would put the King in check.
