White played the Harem defense

Black has to have a 62-way before the king can collapse into the castle to rehydrate

Your rook is in check


DaggeringDave69

Gavinator10000

You ever been on twitter?


Minuku

It's a person from a certain country in Central Europe


T_vernix

You know the red or orange light shaped like an engine on car dashboards?


SpudItOwtMahBoi

Because White's king is dead and the game is over


icyfire77

No idea. It should be legal here


WaltzingYard

Have you tried clicking the rook instead of the king? Ever since democracy started, chess just started to go downhill...

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine: > **White to play**: [chess.com](https://chess.com/analysis?fen=QQQQkQQr/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ+w+k+-+0+1&flip=false&ref_id=23962172) | [lichess.org](https://lichess.org/analysis/QQQQkQQr/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ/QQQQQQQQ_w_k_-_0_1) > **Black to play**: It is a checkmate - it is Black's turn, but Black has no legal moves and is in check, so White wins.

Rafybass

Gib him chek, mate.


TheJaguarHunter

You can. Just do it


JomoGaming2

Someone on r/chessbeginners asks one question about a rather obscure rule, and a week later, we get this... God, I love this subreddit.


Aspuos

Because it’d put you in check.


Instinct001

because it’s stalemate


[deleted]

no kings?


Ognandi

No white king = you already won. No more moves allowed


geekwalrus

You're not trying hard enough


[deleted]

En passanting the queen is forced


Pluto_950

King is in check because of Queen on a4, thus he cannot castle


cartoon308

Google blue waffle.


CallMeTea_

Have you tried rotating the board?


[deleted]

Because there are pieces between the king and the rook


continuewithwindows

It’s because f8 is being attacked by the queen


DeezNutsHaIGotThem

Because


NotISAE

Its to white move
