It is not allowed to make a move, such that ones king is in check after the move. If a player accidently tries to make such a move, he must take the move back and make another move (following the rules that one must move with the piece one has touched. ) Mate When a player is in check, and he cannot make a move such that after the move, the king is not in check, then he is mated. The player that is mated lost the game, and the player that mated him won the game. Note that there are three different possible ways to remove a check: Move the king away to a square where he is not in check. Center the playfield P4 and secure to the end panels using screws H9 as shown in FIGURE 5. Figure 5 (In case of a check, given by a rook, bishop or queen: ) move a piece between the checking piece and the king. Stalemate MAKING SURE END PANELS ARE STRAIGHT TIGHTEN ALL HARDWARE AT THIS TIME. 12 When a player cannot make any legal move, but he is not in check, then the player is said to be stalemated. In a case of a stalemate, the game is a draw. © 2004 Escalade Sports 25 For Customer Service Call 1-866-556-2759 Queen The queen has the combined moves of the rook and the bishop, i. e. , the queen may move in any straight line, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Knight The knight makes a move that consists of first one step in a horizontal or vertical direction, and then one step diagonally in an outward direction. The knight jumps: it is allowed that the first square that the knight passes over is occupied by an arbitrary piece. For instance, white can start the game by moving his knight from b1 to c3. The piece that is jumped over is further not affected by the knight: as usual, a knight takes a piece of the opponent by moving to the square that contains that piece. Pawn The pawn moves differently regarding whether it moves to an empty square or whether it takes a piece of the opponent. When this pawn has not moved at all, i. e. , the pawn is still at the second row (from the owning players view), the pawn may make a double step straight forward. When a pawn makes a double step from the second row to the fourth row, and there is an enemy pawn on an adjacent square on the fourth row, then this enemy pawn inthe next move may move diagonally to the square that was passed over by the double-stepping pawn, which is on the third row. This taking en-passant must be done directly: if the player who could take enpassant does not do this in the first move after the double step, this pawn cannot be taken anymore by an en-passant move. When a player moves a pawn to the last row of the board, he replaces the pawn by a queen, rook, knight, or bishop (of the same color). Usually, players will promote the pawn to a queen, but the other types of pieces are also allowed. Thus, it is for instance possible that a player has at a certain moment two queens. ) King The king moves one square in any direction, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. There is one special type of move, made by a king and rook simultaneously, called castling: see below. The king is the most important piece of the game, and moves must be made in such a way that the king is never in check: see below. 13. Place the playfield support braces P5 onto the playfield as shown in FIGURE 6. [. . . ] Any jumped object balls are spotted in numerical order according to General Rules for spotting balls. PLAYING THE 8-BALL When shooting at the 8-ball, a scratch or foul is not loss of game if the 8-ball is not pocketed or jumped from the table. Note: A combination shot can never be used to legally pocket the 8-ball. LOSS OF GAME A player loses the game by committing any of the following infractions: 1. [. . . ]
