1: c
2: d, I guess, even though I think of it as a skewer because the king isn't worth as much in terms of mobility.

3: b -- because Bb5

good job !! You get 3 trophy's!

Question 4:

The king's value is sometimes described as infinite because it can't be traded, but in terms of mobility it is most often given a value . . .

a) between a pawn and minor piece.
b) between a minor piece and rook.
c) between a rook and queen.
d) more than a queen.
e) It's still infinite.

 skewer is like a pin except backwards. The greater valuable piece is in front of a lesser valuable piece. Pin is lesser valuable piece is in front of a greater valuable piece.

idk if its c or e lol. i say c

Not c, sorry.

It's a tricky question, I think, because for example a knight controls a maximum of 8 squares, a bishop controls a maximum of 13, but they're both given the same value.

a) Inaccuracy

b) Blunder

a) Mate in 3

b) Mate in 6

c) Mate in 4

d) Mate in 8

e) No Mate

f) Mate in 2

c

can anyone explain why 3 is not a legal position? someone said because of Bb5, but i must be missing something.

The pawns are still on e2 and g2 so the bishop could not have left the f1 square.

thank you.  I would add that white still has 8 pawns, so it can't either be that bishop was captured on f1 and come back to life from a promoted pawn.

wrong sry

correct!
