A decision example

From the standard initial position, play e2–e4, with both e3 and the target e4 empty along the way.; The white pawn reaches e4, and it is Black's turn.. Black plays e7–e5.; Both sides have completed one move.. The white knight jumps from g1 to f3.; The white knight joins the center, and it is Black's turn to continue.

What is the result?

Whether the king is in check distinguishes stalemate from checkmate.

How rules shape tradeoffs

Active pieces can support one another in attack and defense.

Editorial thought experiment: if a move could leave your own king attacked, escaping check would no longer be compulsory, changing the balance of attack and defense. This is not legal Chess.
