Hi All,

This is my first post! I taught myself chess in an evening with the website and playing a few games against the computer. This is an issue I have encountered a few times i am not sure what i have wrong the black queen is in check against my king as shown above it is my turn all i am able to do is move away up right one square diagnoally to D2. But I think something is wrong i should be able to kill the queen with one move right the queen is right next to my king. 

Please help!

Well you see if your King took the queen, then your King would be at risk of being taken- and the bishop would take your King, which is illegal.

So how much do you know about chess? Do you know how the King can never be taken and about how "checkmate" wins the game?

ah i see, because you cannot place your king deliberately in a position to be taken!!!! makes sense lol have to zooom out sometimes thank you so much

Yeah that's it, you can't put the King in a place he can be taken.

It's always good to see new players and good luck with your playing !

But what if there was no bishop supporting queen? Then king can kill queen right?

The queen is protected by the bishop, so that is why you can't kill the queen; if you kill her, that bishop will check you!

But it's not checkmate, because king can move to Kd2.
