Checkmate in chess is the final and decisive move in the game, where one player’s king is placed in a position where it is under immediate threat of capture (known as “check”) and there is no legal move to remove that threat. Checkmate ends the game with the player delivering checkmate being declared the winner.
Knowing how to checkmate is crucial in chess, as it allows players to recognize and execute winning positions. Mastering checkmating techniques enhances strategic thinking, tactical vision, and overall gameplay.
