Is the King in Check? A Chess Game

Chess Ages 7 to 10 Free, no account

Yes or no, and why. It is one of the chess games on Smarties.

How it works

A black king and one white piece appear. The child answers yes or no. Half the positions are check and half are not, dealt at random, because a game where the answer is always yes teaches a child to say yes.

When the answer was yes and the child said no, the squares the piece is attacking light up, so the line into the king can be seen rather than described.

What is in it: Positions to judge yes or no, with the piece giving check named once the answer is in.
