Either black immediately loses because they have no king, or is going to ruin white with no weakness and 2 OP pieces

What if the kings can't be taken, and both must be checkmated to win?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

You lose if a king is in check and you cannot get him out of check, so only one king must be checkmated.

In this setup, you can probably checkmate by putting both kings in check if your opponent can only get one king out of check

What if you block one king being in check by putting another king in check?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

In the position below, white is checkmated, because he can only move one king out of check. if he had a piece that could take the queen, he wouldn't be in checkmate.

And in this position, white is blacked.

What do I do in this position? I'm white.

A4 then A5, the kings can't escape fast enough.
