If he cannot avoid capture while under attack, it is checkmate and the game is over (the player attacking - checking - the King having won). If a player can make no legal move without putting his (so far unattacked) King under attack, it is stalemate and the game is drawn. May I say one thing more without condescension or arrogance? Get a good book for beginning players, it will greatly enhance your enjoyment of this wonderful game. I bet almost everyone here did so once, too. Have fun! Charley
