Truth and Lies
Game #7 Review 1. A pinned pawn may legally capture en passant if doing so removes the pin. Verdict: ❌ False (as written). The problem is the wording. If the pawn is absolutely pinned to the king, the move is only legal if, after the en passant capture, the king is not left in check. If the pawn is relatively pinned (for example to the queen), then yes, it can. Since the statement says it may without any conditions, it isn't universally true. 2. It is possible for both players to have promoted exactly eight queens each in the same legal game. Verdict: ✅ True. Each side has eight pawns. Each pawn can promote. Each promotion can be to a queen. Nothing in the rules forbids this. The game would be absurdly long and require lots of captures, but it's legal. 3. A knight can simultaneously give check, attack the opponent's queen, and defend its own queen. Verdict: ✅ True. A knight attacks up to eight squares simultaneously. There's nothing preventing: - One attacked square containing the king, - Another containing the enemy queen, - Another containing your own queen. 4. A position with only two kings and one knight is always drawn with correct play. Verdict: ✅ True. In fact, it's even stronger. King + Knight vs King is a dead position because checkmate is impossible. 5. A player may intentionally underpromote to a rook even when promoting to a queen would be immediate checkmate. Verdict: ✅ True. Promotion is always the player's choice. You never have to choose the strongest move. 6. A king can legally capture a checking piece if the destination square is not attacked by any enemy piece after the capture. Verdict: ✅ True. This is one of the standard ways to escape check. Example: Black rook checks White king. The rook isn't defended. The king captures it. Perfectly legal. 7. A discovered check is always also a discovered attack. Verdict: ✅ True. Definition: - discovered attack = moving one piece reveals another attack - discovered check = moving one piece reveals an attack on the king
