Details
Skewers can be broken down into two types: absolute and relative. In an absolute skewer, the king is in check so the check must be dealt with (under the rules of chess). In a relative skewer, the piece under attack is not a king, so the side being skewered is not obligated under the rules to move the piece.

Famous quotes containing the word details:
“Then he told the news media
the strange details of his death
and they hammered him up in the marketplace
and sold him and sold him and sold him.
My death the same.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
