To answer your question, a rook, knight, bishop etc simply takes out the piece it lands on. As for a knight, no it does not take out the piece it jumps; this is not checkers <Grin>. About check and checkmate: when your king is in check, it can be captured. This means that you must immediately either move the king out of check or some how move a piece in the way, as your king *cannot* be captured. If, however, you cannot get out of check, this is considered checkmate and grants your opponent victory. Best Regards, Hayden

Can a castle take out pieces and if so how? Can the bishop and all the others take out pieces? If so, how? When a knight jumps a piece, does it take out the piece it jumps? What's check or checkmate? I need to know everything about chess. If anybody knows about a review on chess let me know. Thanks.
