Sorry to intrude on more meaninful chess talk - but I only have 5 hours left to move-the pieces just keep springing back. I've come back 3 time to move - what am I missing? Thanks very much.

Carefully look at your position, are you sure the move you want to make is legal?

Avatar of choux

Yes, I think so. It's only the third move and my Queen (w) is on c7. He would be in check. It's just a move I'm trying out, but so far - I'm blocked?

If you're trying to take the bishop, then that's not legal. You have to deal with the check first.

I'm sorry ...what?

YOU are in check NOW, and need to get out. The others are right, you're probably trying to make an illegal move. Deal with the check.

Well, the one thing I can count on is the people in the forum. thanks again!
