A position where the two kings are on the same rank, file, or diagonal with an odd number of squares separating them. If there is only one square inbetween both Kings, this is direct opposition. If there are three to five squares seperating the Kings, this is distant opposition. A player "has the opposition" if the Kings are in direct opposition and the opponent must move, thereby allowing the player to advance his King.
