In chess, both sides must move a piece on their turn, even if they don’t want to move a piece because it will compromise their position.

Diagram above:1.Rh7# Note how the white knight defends the rook on h7 and at the same time covers the escape square, g8. This demonstration of the knight’s unique abilities is the main feature of the Arabian Mate. Essentially, you want to force the king to the same color as the bishop that you have since this piece will be the one to give the final blow. The staircase method involves slowly pushing the king to the edge of the board, alternating with queen and queen. Skipping a move, or marking time, is a chess term that is used when you want to force your opponent into a bad position ( zugswang).
