Once the King arrives at the position to support the queen and defend her from capture from the enemy king it is time to deliver the inevitable checkmate with queen. The enemy king has the option of only a couple of squares and a very small box in the corner and can make single moves back and forth legally, totally trapped whilst you king moves in to support the queen with the final and fatal blow. Now start moving your king toward the corner in support of the queen. Bring your King in to support and defend the Queen Once the king has no choice but to move to the corner square on its next move, it is time to start bringing your own king in to assist with the checkmate. This is almost as bad as losing the game! If the king were to end up in the corner and you copied that move with your queen you would not have a check position, but the King would not be able to make a legal move, as any move would place him in check, and this would mean a stalemate, and your opponent would have forced a draw from a losing position. It is crucial to avoid a stalemate position here. Stop before the King Hits The Corner – Avoid Stalemate In doing this, you maintain that knights distance and push the king into an ever decreasing box and closer to the corner 5. The enemy king has to make a move after your queen has moved, and because you are in the position a knight would be making check, the king has to move away.Įvery move the king makes should be copied exactly by the queen, whether it is horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The way to do this is to copy every move the king makes. Once again, it is important to remember step 2 and not put the king in check. Follow the Enemy King Exactly with Your Queen Now here comes the fun part where we make the box smaller and smaller restricting the king’s movement. This creates a box on the chessboard with the queen covering both rank and file which the king can not breach. When using the queen you will not be placing the king in check as described in step 2 above, but just staying that knight’s distance away. That is a square that if you were using a knight, would put the king in check. Once you have decided which corner you will use, your next move is to consider all positions around the king that would be a ‘knight’s move’ away. Create the First Box from which the King Can’t Escape If you place the king in checkmate at this time, you open up a move in the opposite direction to which you need him to move. Do Not Check until Checkmate is Possibleīy avoiding checkmate you are forcing the king to move in the direction you want them to go. For the quickest mate, you should choose the corner which the king is closest to, as long as that is not near your own king and begin moving him there with the most powerful piece, the Queen. Choose a Corner to Push The Enemy Kingįrom your starting position you need to decide which corner you wish to push the enemy king to. There are just 6 simple steps to completing a checkmate procedure with a king and queen against a lone king. The first video forces the King to a chosen rank using both the king and queen, the second video is more efficient, using the queen as if she was a knight placing the king in check with each move by mimicking the king’s move. There are two methods that are quite similar situations which can be seen in these two videos all ending in the same type of checkmate against the opposition. Once there it is a matter of how to complete the checkmate method with your King and Queen. One of these attacking moves should be able to force him into an uncomfortable position on the chess board. In order to win, we need to find a common checkmate pattern idea where you can attack the enemy king from different angles at once. Checkmate is complete when the enemy king is placed in check and has no legal moves available. The King is required to support the queen in defending her too and blocking any escape squares. In the Endgame, the Queen forces the enemy King to a corner where it cannot escape. You’ve probably seen or played such positions before in online chess when your opponent will not resign and it is a time-controlled game.
