The black king has been checkmated; the game is over.

Check is a term in chess when a player's king is attacked. If the king is in check, the player must find a way to stop the threat; he can not just ignore it. The player must do one of these things:

  • Capture the checking piece (with the king or another piece).
  • Interpose: put a piece between the checking piece and the king. This only works if the checking piece is a long-distance piece (bishop, rook or queen).
  • Move the king to a square which is not threatened.

If none of these works, then it is not a check but checkmate.[1][2]
