The goal of the game is to protect your own '''King''' while attacking your opponent's. Every time the King is under direct '''threat''' from another piece - queen, bishop, et al, the King is said to be under '''check.''' When a player is in check, the King must be protected - no move that fails to remedy the check is acceptable.
The object of the game is to checkmate the other player's '''King''' before he checkmates your king. Checkmate is achieved when the following conditions are met. <BR>
1. The King is directly attacked by an opponent's piece. (Check) <BR>
2. Every square that the King can move to is also attacked by an opponent's piece. <BR>
3. The Piece that is attacking the King cannot be captured. <BR>
4 Another Piece cannot be moved in between to cut off the attack on the King.<BR>
When the King is checkmated, The game is over, and the player who checkmated the other player's king is the winner.
When check is not correctable - as in, when the King is under check, and no move can be made to extract him, the King is under '''checkmate''', and the opposing player wins. Alternately, if the King is NOT under check, but the player cannot move with any other piece, and the King cannot be moved without placing himself in check, '''stalemate''' occurs, which means that the game is a draw.
