Detailed Solution & Logic
End of game / खेल का समापन

In chess, “checkmate” occurs when:

The king is under direct threat (check).
-
No legal move can remove the threat.
Key points:

It ends the game immediately.
-
The player whose king is checkmated loses the game.

Checkmate is different from:
-
Check → king is under threat but can escape.
-
Draw → game ends in a tie (e.g., stalemate, insufficient material).
-
🟢 व्याख्या
शतरंज में “चेकमेट” तब होता है जब:
-
राजा सीधे खतरे में (चेक) हो।
-
और कोई भी वैध चाल उस खतरे को नहीं हटा सकती।
मुख्य बिंदु:
-
यह खेल का तुरंत अंत करता है।
-
जिसका राजा चेकमेट होता है, वह खेल हार जाता है।
-
अंतर:
-
चेक → राजा खतरे में है लेकिन बच सकता है।

ड्रॉ → खेल बराबरी में समाप्त होता है (जैसे स्टैलमेट, अपर्याप्त मोहरों की स्थिति)।
-
