→Being In Check
===Being In Check===
A player is "in check" when his king is attacked by an opposing piece. He must then move "out of check" immediately. This may be done in one of three ways:
# Capture the enemy piece which is giving check.
# Move the king to an unattacked square.
# In the case of a check from a rook, bishop or queen, interpose a piece between the king and the checking piece.
When you check your opponent, it is considered polite to say "check" in case the move was not noticed. In tournament play, however, it is considered polite not to say "check" - you would not wish to insult your opponent by suggesting that the move went unnoticed.
''Note:'' A player is ''never'' allowed to move into check.
