Chess question.

If I check the King, and the piece is next to the king; can the king eat that piece? or move to another spot?

 

[KLin]

The King can take that piece.

Thanks...

the king is always hungry

Most people use the queen because she can check from anywhere line of sight.

just gotta protect the space that the piece is on to prevent the king from taking it (and going back into check on his own turn)

 

[rocadelpunk]

the king can capture the piece if it's not defended by anything...i.e. once you're in check you must get out of check, if you tried to take a bishop for example that was on the same diagonal as a queen, you'd still be in check and it's an illegal move. If you can't move anywhere out of check then that's 'mate.

Can a king castle if he is in check? Thanks

Yes. I'm checking the king right now with my queen from away, but i'm sure the other player is going to bring the his queen up to protect the light of sight.

I could then move in on the queen but obviously the king could eat me.

I dont think so.

 

[rocadelpunk]

if it's advantageous, like drawing his king out so he can't castle then trade queens : P

unless you're already down heavy material...in which case you're probably f'd : )

Can take the piece unless it is protected. King can never put itself in jeopardy.

Nope.

the king gives me delicious hamburgers with his disarming smile and brilliant football maneuvers.

 

[Spikesoldier]

king also cannot castle across a square that is threatened as well.

 

[Mayfriday0529]

The King can't check the King?

damn...
