Latest news

Today we learned how to checkmate with a king and queen against a king.

Several people also were able to learn the king and rook vs  king checkmate.
The one in red still have to master the KR vs K mate. Practice between now and next week when I will check again and award ten points if you can do it. If you need help see the chessbybill link to my lessons.
