Hi there i was just wondering if anybody could tell me why I can't move in one of my games (its against Jedimaster) and I have only 14hrs left and can't seem to do anything :( I am a beginner and am still learning but im hoping im not being incredibly silly and missing out on something that is staring me in the face???  Many thanks in advance!!

You are in check, (you need to move your king out of check) If you try and do another move (which would be illegal) then nothing will happen which is what I'm guessing you are trying to do!

Anyways good luck, you're need it!

Thanks guys for the advice guys...i went back in and moved my king out of check b4 i tried to make any other silly moves and it was sorted...cheers!  Am left slightly red faced lol.  I don't hold out much hope for this game...actually most of my games lol....but I got introduced to chess blindfolded so to speak and i'm slowly but surely learning :)

Don't worry we were all in the same boat at some point.  Stick with it, it sinks in eventually.

Go girl, we've all been there, and we're still learning. Tell everyone your rosy cheeks are flush with excitement not red with embarrassment. Good luck
