Take or checkmate?
If you spot an undefended piece, you would be a fool not to take it. A free piece, that earns you points!
However, it is always wise to look a little further. Because maybe there is a chance to checkmate. And that, of course, is even better.
What do you have to do?
Play the best move: Do you capture a piece or can you checkmate the king?
The black queen is undefended.
White can capture the queen with his pawn.
A free piece, what luck!
Still, there's an even better move.
Do you see it?
If white moves the rook to h5 (Rd5-h5#) it's checkmate!
