Just to let everyone know, I have changed statement (d) for certain reasons. Thanks.
@9thEagle -- Sorry about that, I thought that the FIDE World Chess Championship was the official one while the PCA World Chess Championship was unofficial. :/
Anyways, I have confirmed that (c) from the previous round was indeed true based on Wikipedia, so whoever answered that statement will be given a point too. Sorry for the trouble.
b is true
e is true?
J is mostly true with exceptions. So I assume it counts as true.
j is true? (btw, GuessWhoIAm, can you edit my name please? You have typed it wrong)
d is true.
But I don't think (F) is true :( because the king can either fork up to 3 pieces (assuming "fork" means it must make a move to attack a piece it wasn't' previously attacking"), or 7 pieces, if we take the definition of "fork" to simply mean all the pieces which are simultaneously attacked. Even if we consider a fork number to be the number of pieces that can legally be captured, can the king can fork a maxiumum of 4 (see below for my best solution, although perhaps a better one may be found).
i is true
Prasanth: J is done already. You can't reuse it.
A is true.
Guess I'll take the final one.
g is true
@Muhammad: Oops, didn't see that.
f is true
C is true?
Prashanth: Call me Areez. That's my name.
