7.) Chess/Check question:  In Chess, if by moving a piece (other than your
King) you leave your King open to be taken next turn, does your opponent
need to announce that that move would cause checkmate, or can your
opponent simply take your King to win the game next turn?  Because of a
lack of rules concerning the check Navia Dratp I'd like to simply be
consistance with the Chess check/checkmate rules.

The scenario I had in mind is where there are three pieces all in the same
column.  My King (Navia) was on its end line with the dratp Nebguard
(forward Bishop) one space in front of my Navia.  Three spaces in front of
my Nebguard/Bishop was my opponents dratp Agunilyos (Queen).  If the
Nebguard/Bishop moves away diagonally and exposes the King/Navia can the
Agunilyos/Queen simply take the King/Navia for the win?
