you shan't have my king quite yet When one's king is checked in chess, he says to his opponent "you shan't have my king quite yet". Does he mean "I won't let you check and mate my king, it is too soon yet"?

I should have specified it is outdated in AmE. It would be helpful questioners specified AmE or BE or both.

I still commonly use 'shan't' today, and so do many other people that I know.

This is 17th century English. You wouldn't express this thought this way today. 'Shan't' will get you some odd looks.

Shan't is an abbreviation of shall not.

Hi, yes, that's exactly what they mean, that they won't let you take the king so soon. Hope this helps
