That is the point, according to the definition of the word attack, the knight does not attack the white king, so it is not check according to the current wording of the rules. >To restate those rules: Whichever side can capture opposite King _first_, wins. The knight cannot capture the white king. It cannot do anything to the white king. It cannot move. It is not even threatening the white king. If it's black's turn to move, can black capture the white king? No, therefore it is not check. Now, according to tradition this _IS_ check, and there is where the delima lies. Russell
