If the knight moves then is it possible to give check mate? I have already given one check. I was playing a game of "3 check". How can I get two more checks? Is it not possible?

3 check is a mode in chess where you have to give 3 checks. Here in this game I gave one check before. At move 16 the black side made a mistake. Would it have been possible to give two more checks if the black side hadn't made that mistake? Black also has two checks left.

Go to move 16. What if my opponent hadn't made a mistake, then how could I have won?

  • I don't see here any win for White. 21. ... Kxh7 leaves white without any material to play with...

    It's not standard chess - it's a variant called three check where I assume, from the name, giving three checks is enough to win the game.

    17. ... Rf2+ apparently wins for Black, although I am not familiar with the details of this particular game.

  • It's three checks where you give 3 checks . I gave one , at that horse part if black didn't make the mistake is it possible to give 2 more checks

Black's decisive mistake was 19...Bg4, up to there he was winning. You can analyze three-check chess games online on lichess, or using multi-variant Stockfish offline with a GUI supporting chess variants (e.g., WinBoard/XBoard, PyChess, CuteChess, etc.).

I imported your game to lichess and triggered the automatic analysis, see https://lichess.org/uUVDe8ei#38.

  • I think that means if black didn't make that mistake I would lose . There is no way of blocking it .

  • Yes, if black had played 19...Nxf2+ instead of 19...Bg4, the third check could not be avoided. If white plays 19.Rxf2 or Kg2, then 20...Qd5+ wins, and if Kg1 or Kh2, then Nh3+ and Ng4+ win, respectively.

After 16. h4, there is no way for you to win this position, as black has a forced win in 4 moves.

  1. ..Nh3+ is not a mistake by black, in fact it is winning. After your move 17. Kg2, black wins the game with 17. ..Rf2+ 18. Rxf2 Nf4+ 0-1.

If you look at Fabian's link, you can see that black has a forced win in 5 as early as move 15.

So, to answer your question: No, it is not possible for you to give 2 more checks.
