Can a pawn capture a king?

Yes, a pawn may capture any piece on the board as long as it is a legal move. One way it could happen is the pawn is blocking lets say a Bishop or a Rook from attacking the opponent's king. The pawn moves to a square where it attacks the Queen. Normally the Queen would either just capture the pawn or move away from it. But if the move of the pawn now places the king in check from that Bishop or Rook (this is called a discovered check) the King must move out of check. If the player now in check has no alternative but to move the King out of check, then once he moves the king, the pawn is free to capture the Queen.

No , only upon the pawn's promotion to a piece that then checks the king may you then say "check" .


How do you use a pawn to checkmate a king in chess?

The pawn can checkmate the king but only in conjunction with at least one other piece to protect the pawn from capture by the king and at least one enemy piece placed near the king so that it cuts off any escape avenues the king would have. If a pawn places a king in check and the king is completely surrounded by his own pieces in such a way that its only move would be capture the pawn and if no enemy piece is placed so that it can capture that pawn and if the pawn is protected from capture by one of its own pieces, the pawn has checkmated the king.


Can a pawn kill a king?

Yes. A pawn may checkmate a king in the right situation. Note, however, that technically speaking a king is never "killed" but is checkmated. The game is over before the pawn actually captures or "kills" the king.

When a king is in check with a castle can a pawn take the castle if the castle has its other castle to back him up?

It really depends on what you're asking. When in check, the only legal moves are moves that would serve to get you out of check. If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean your king was no longer in check, then yes, the rook may be taken. If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean that your king would be in check by another piece, then no, the rook may not be taken.


When a pawn is queened does it automatically check the opponent's king if the king is in line with the new queen?

What is it called in chess when it is your opponets turn but he can't move because the king is in check if he moves but he only has two pieces king and pawn and his pawn can't move or attack?

If you or your opponent cannot make any legal move and the king is NOT in check, it is called stalemate and the game is a draw.

Can a pawn take anyother piece in chess?

This is a special capture made immediately after a player moves a pawn two squares forward from its starting position, and an opposing pawn could have captured it as if it had moved only one square forward. In this situation, the opposing pawn may capture the pawn as if taking it "as it passes" through the first square. The resulting position is the same as if the pawn had only moved one square forward and the opposing pawn had captured normally. For more info, see Related Links, below.


How do you beat majestic chess level5 black annis' bower?

idk the proper terms and stuff but... 1. move the bishop in front of the pawn putting the king in check also. The pawn will capture the bishop 2. Use your queen to take the pawn, which puts the king in check. The other king will move out of the way to avoid check. 3. move the queen diagonally intro the same file as the rook to complete the checkmate. :) I saved the game before I did this, bought a scroll of wisdom and used it. Then, I reloaded the game and completed it
