Hi Guys! I hope you read part one. It was not how I expected it to be so I hope this one is good. So let us start.

So we will first learn about check. It is when the king is in the line were the piece can move. All the pieces can bring check expect for the king. You have to get out of check. Here is a example of check.

The next one is checkmate. It is when the king is trapped and can not move. All pieces can checkmate including the king. Here is an example of checkmate.

The next one is en passant or in passing. It is when a pawn moves two squares and is next to the opponent's pawn. Here is an example of en passant.

The next one is castling. It is when your king moves to edge of the board and you rook goes in to the action in the middle. You can castle king or queen side. You can castle if you are not in check, if there is a piece or pieces between your rook and king, and if your rook and king have moved. Here is an example of castling.

The next one is stalemate. It is when the king is in check but can't go anywhere. Here is an example of stalemate.
The last one is promotion. It is when your pawn turns into a queen, rook, bishop or knight. Here is an example of promotion.
