Hi,

I'd like to settle an arguement I've have with my dad at chess.  I
mistakenly said 'checkmate' when it was actually 'check', there was
one sqaure to which he could move his king.  Does this forfit the game,
he
recons that it gives him a win since I declared the wrong term?

I've looked at many rule books, but can find anything yet. Excellent
website by the way!

Thanks.
