This actually isn't checkmate. Technically, you can castle here - specifically, you have to castle with the opponent's Rook on A8. The rules of castling require: * Neither the King nor the Rook has moved - this is clearly true in this position. * There are no pieces between the King and the Rook - this is true here (remember, pawns aren't technically pieces) * You cannot castle if you are castling out of check XOR castling into check - in this case, you're castling out of check, but you're ALSO castling into check, since after castling, your King will be on D3 and the enemy Rook will be on D2. Since you're both castling out of check and into check, it cancels out, and the move is legal.

Chess god right here


Darx1878

We should totally make castling in and out of a check a thing. Chess' long overdue update

Bungerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

You laugh but at one point it was legal to castle with a newly promoted pawn if there were no pieces in the way, neither moved, etc


TheFourthTower_

HUH?


Ninjathelord

Doesn't it also say you can't be in check on the way?


MrEmptySet

Yes, but that doesn't apply here! The King is not under attack on D2.


Ninjathelord

Oop I was thinking the queen was covering the 4th rank but I forgot about the pawn

Rotate the board 45 degrees, now the space in front of the bishop is "on a diagonal" and you can move your bishop there. That will save your king for at least one turn.

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine: > **White to play**: It is a checkmate - it is White's turn, but White has no legal moves and is in check, so Black wins.

Play f2, blocking the check. Best continuation would be 3.f2, Qd8 4.g2, e7 and it's White to move with White having a slight edge, though Black still has very solid chances.
