I am not sure about it but so many people checkmate in under 10 moves. So can they in 1?

I have been wondering checkmate in 1 move. Is it possible for rook or Bishop or queen

Of course not. Can you even capture at least one piece from your opponent in the first move?

Of course it is not. I kinda don’t get why you think it is possible to deliver 1 move checkmate, or is this a joke lol

There are 20 legal first moves for white ( 16 pawn moves and 4 knight moves) and none of them even checks the black king.

#7 comment by @PeterMisiu, me, is there possible checkmate in 1 move? I think so

Avatar of PeterMisiu

And, like @tygxc said, the queen is good for checkmating.

Wait, do you mean we deliver a  1 move checkmate after the first moves, or in starting position?
