Oh, right. When I looked before I thought the bishop was on the white square that is over two and up one. But he is over 3. So she needs to move one square to her right, then knight herself.

The guy in the blue suit, most likely not a pawn, is reaching for his gun, just in case the bishop tries to move illegally and tries to take the Queen.

The funny part is my son learned to play Chess at SnF when he was six. Mary's grandson taught him.
