When you're in check
There's 3 ways to save your neck!

Most beginners instinctively move their King when they are in check, but that's usually not the best way out of check. First see if you can take the piece, then look to see if you can block the check, and lastly find all the squares your King could escape to. Finally decide which is best.

In this problem Black must figure out the best way out of check.


Answer:
1. Kh7 If Black plays QxB he loses his queen. If he blocks with his Queen, he loses it. If he blocks with his pawn, White plays hxg6 (en passant - remember that rule?) and has a really rare double check - both the bishop and rook will be checking the king. The only way out is Kg7 which will lose because White plays Rh7+ winning the Black Queen next turn.
