    Where is the player supposed to place the striker for each strike? 

    • A.

      Above the baseline

    • B.

      Within the baseline

    • C.

      Under the baseline

    • D.

      Between the baseline

    Correct Answer
    B. Within the baseline
    Explanation
    The player is supposed to place the striker within the baseline for each strike. Placing the striker within the baseline ensures that the strike is legal and does not result in a foul. It also allows the player to have better control over the striker and aim for the desired target. Placing the striker above, under, or between the baseline would violate the rules of the game and may result in penalties or loss of points.

    • D.

      One or more

    Correct Answer
    B. Two or four people at once
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Two or four people at once" because the question is asking about the number of people who can play the game simultaneously. The answer options "One or three people," "Three people," and "One or more" do not specify the exact number of players who can participate at the same time. Therefore, the only option that provides a clear and specific answer is "Two or four people at once."

    • D.

      The rear line

    Correct Answer
    A. Both the front and the rear line
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the striker must touch both the front and the rear line within the baseline. This means that when the striker is within the baseline, they must make contact with both the front line and the rear line in order to complete the required action. This ensures that the striker is properly positioned and follows the rules of the game.

  • 8. 

    Where is the Queen placed at the start of the game?

    • A.

      The middle line

    • B.

      The front line

    • C.

      The rear line

    • D.

      The centre of the board

    Correct Answer
    D. The centre of the board
    Explanation
    At the start of the game, the Queen is placed in the centre of the board. This is because the Queen is considered to be one of the most powerful pieces on the chessboard and placing her in the centre allows for greater flexibility and control over the game. Additionally, being in the centre provides the Queen with the ability to influence different areas of the board and potentially participate in various strategic maneuvers.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    How many pieces are put around the Queen in a circle?

    • A.

      7

    • B.

      15

    • C.

      6

    • D.

      8

    Correct Answer
    C. 6
    Explanation
    In a circle, there are typically six pieces that surround the Queen. This is because a circle is divided into 360 degrees, and each piece occupies 60 degrees. Since there are six pieces, they evenly distribute around the Queen, forming a complete circle.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following is true?

    • A.

      If the Queen is pocketed but not covered, the Queen is returned to the board.

    • B.

      It doesn't matter if the Queen is pocketed or not.

    • C.

      The Queen cannot be covered when pocketed.

    • D.

      The Queen can only be covered when there is a foul.

    Correct Answer
    A. If the Queen is pocketed but not covered, the Queen is returned to the board.
    Explanation
    If the Queen is pocketed but not covered, it means that if the Queen is successfully pocketed by a player but is not subsequently covered by another piece, it will be returned to the board. This suggests that in the game being referred to, there is a rule that requires the Queen to be covered after being pocketed in order to keep it out of play.
