“20.Nd6++ Kd8” my man so good he checked twice in one move

[@isavenewspapers8890]

@@kingsley. That's known as a double check, and it's actually pretty common. It occurs when a player delivers a check with two pieces at once. This can occur if one piece moves so that it gives check and also unveils discovered check from another piece; it can also occur if you capture en passant to unveil two checks at once. In algebraic notation, a double check is usually given a +, the same as any other check. However, some publications, particularly older ones, give double check a ++ instead. This style of notation has fallen somewhat out of favor to avoid confusion with checkmate, which itself uses ++ sometimes (though it usually uses #).

[@bluepaper7133]

Unbeknownst to the queen, there is actually another way. if the knight went to f7 to check, and king steps to the square e8, the knight can chomp off the rook with discovered check, the king steps to d8, and queen to e8 is checkmate. If the king goes to g8, then just knight to f8 again with the king vulnerable and the knight protected, you are up material; a queen and a knight for a knight bishop and rook. That is including that the king is very vulnerable and isolated pawns too. Edit: I didn't see that other bishop, but I think that is still going to be winning Edit2: Oh yea if the king went to f8 then just Qf7 is mate

To castle you bring the king two squares to the rook and the rook sits next to the king

[@nicbentulan]

a little possible loophole: do you have to move king 1st if you verbally declare that you will castle (before touching any piece and then after you declare you touch rook 1st or touch both at the same time)? i think of hikaru nakamura's 2 hands castling incident.

[@ZorLink21]

12:24 The queen was forced to move to e7 because Be7 or Ne7 is met by 1: Nxh8+ Kf8 2:Qf7#. Or black could play Be5 or Ne5, but that would be Met by Nxe5+, followed by Qf7 which will be check if black goes to e7 or checkmate if he goes to f8

[@isavenewspapers8890]

There is also 16... Kf7, which is probably the best move at the human level. However, it gives White mate in 12 with 17. Ne5+ Ke6 18. Qf7+ Kd6 19. Rd1+ Kc5 20. Qxc4+ Kb6 21. Qb3+ Ka6 22. Qd3+ Kb6 23.
