💡 Need a hint?

Check every square next to your king. A square is safe only if no black piece attacks it.

The first way out of check is to move the king to a safe square. A check from a knight can never be blocked, so the king often has to move.

Chapter 3 — Check: Attack the king — and learn the three ways out of check: move the king, block, or capture the attacker.
