Descripton
The failure and chechmate (frequently shortened in chechmate) are a situation with the Jeu of failures in which one of the kings is attacked and where there is no possible parade with this threat; it is a failure for which there is no loophole. The king is never captured - the part stops as soon as the king is failure and chechmate. A player who is failure and chechmate loses the part. To give a failure and chechmate is the ultimate goal with the failures (however all the parts do not end in a failure and chechmate - generally a player gives up before is not given the failure and chechmate, or the part can be null several manners).If a king is attacked and that it can avoid the threat (by capturing the threatening part, by moving the king on a box where it any more is not attacked or by interposing a part between the king and the part which then attacks (except if it is a rider), the king is in failure. If player is not in failure but that it has no blow possible (i.e. no blow which does not allow the capture of its king), the result of the part is Pat.
