This is a Japanese checkmate.

I thought only Kings couldn't be next to each other.

If two retard are playing chess, sure. Anything can happen

>literal suicide by pawn
Okay
He should have just killed Suzaku

I suppose the animators simply misplaced the rook.

>>159948657
Is it even possible for the white knight to get into that position?

Which is different from regular checkmate??

>>159953927
this

>>159953927
the rook posing the check threat is actually still on screen.

If Pawn takes Knight (something has to take Knight), still check by rook. If King moves left; check via bishop/queen.

looks like the rook on screen is behind the knight to me, I assumed there was still another rook on the file

>>159948657

If that rook is on the same row as the pawn that would be a checkmate.

>>159948657
If they're going by Vienna rules, when in check only the King can move, so in this instance it is a checkmate.

white knights are always putting themselves into uncomfortable positions they have no business being in. it's their defining character trait, right besides being cucks.

anyway it's a discovered check if the pawn takes the black knight, not so uncommon.

I pointed this out the first time someone (probably the same fag) made the thread. I don't think he cares, he just wants to try and have a shitstorm thread for no reason.

It is but it takes a bunch of moving around.
