Chess Information: Opposition
OPPOSITION

The fight between Kings to determine which one is stronger is called the opposition.

If there is an extended amount of space between the kings, this is called the distant opposition.

The rule is: Whoever is to move when there is an ODD number of squares between the Kings does NOT have the opposition.

The reverse is: Whoever is to move when there is an EVEN number of squares between the Kings DOES have the opposition.
