Note that, with respect to resolving a check, the following is true..

1.After the King is placed in check, it becomes the checked King's move, and the checked King MUST, on his move, get out of (i.e., resolve) the check. Only a move that effectuates the immediate resolution of the check is allowed. If a checked King cannot, on the move, resolve the check, the King is said to have been Checkmated.

2. There are only 3 ways to resolve a check (get out of check):

a) Capture the attacker (i.e., the checking piece or pawn).

b) The checked King flees, out of check (the King moves to a square that is not currently directly under attack by an opponent's piece or pawn).

c) Interposition - moving (interposing) a piece or pawn such that it blocks the check of the checking piece. Note that this option is not available if the King is in check by a pawn or a Knight.

@1 stay calm, you are still a beginner. With time, experience and knowledge of chess you will be able to do this very well. Solve chess problems and you will improve your game vision. Don't give up, who knows you will become the next Magnus Carlsen in the future kk. Good luck in your way bro 🤝👊

A lot of times what helps see “mate in 3” or something is forced moves, or leaving your opponent with only 1 move.
