    Games can end in two ways: through checkmate where a player's king is in check and cannot escape, ending the game in a loss, or through resignation where a player voluntarily concedes, believing they will lose. Checkmate is shown through examples where moving a rook or knight checkmates the opponent's king. While checkmate can end games, high level games often end through resignation when defeat is inevitable to avoid poor sportsmanship.

    End of Game

    Win
    Games may be won in the following ways:

    Checkmate - If a player's king is placed in check and there is no legal move that
    player can make to escape from the check, then the king is said to be checkmated,
    the game ends, and that player loses

    Diagram 61- Red to move. Red plays C1+6, checkmates. Red wins.

    Diagram 62- Black to move. Black plays R2+3 checkmates. Black wins.

    Resignation – Both players may resign at any time and their opponent wins the
    game. This normally happens when the player believes he or she is very likely to lose
    the game. It is usually considered poor etiquette to play on in a truly hopeless
    position, and for this reason high level games rarely end with a checkmate.
