I am not sure about it but so many people checkmate in under 10 moves. So can they in 1?

Please tell me your opinion here. But NO negatives!

Chuck Norris can checkmate in zero moves.

I have been wondering checkmate in 1 move. Is it possible for rook or Bishop or queen

@snoozyman, Chuck Norris who you are talking about must be a chess Legend.

Of course not. Can you even capture at least one piece from your opponent in the first move?

PeterMisiu

Maybe yes maybe not. I don't know or just am not sure

Of course it is not. I kinda don’t get why you think it is possible to deliver 1 move checkmate, or is this a joke lol

PeterMisiu

Nobody is ever sure. But I just want to hear your opinion

There are 20 legal first moves for white ( 16 pawn moves and 4 knight moves) and none of them even checks the black king.

#7 comment by @PeterMisiu, me, is there possible checkmate in 1 move? I think so

PeterMisiu

And, like @tygxc said, the queen is good for checkmating.

Wait, do you mean we deliver a  1 move checkmate after the first moves, or in starting position?
