Best Answer

No

The rules state that one may never place his own King in check.

Because a King can only move one square, it must be adjacent to a piece in order to attack it.

But the act of moving your King adjacent to your opponent's King would be putting it in check.

And so the move is not allowed.

If your King is two squares away from your opponent's King, it is not attacking it, and thus it is not putting the other King in check.

The two kings may never face up to one another in chess.

It is illegal for a king to place itself in check, therefore it is an illegal move to face up to another king.

In chess, a king can capture any other piece except another king. Getting next to a the opposing king puts you in check because it allows your king to be taken first losing the game.

What is it called when you have only kings left in a chess game?

How is chess different from other board games?

Kings in chess are different than kings in feudalism because in feudalism, the king has ultimate power, even though he may sometimes be poor because he gave out too many fiefs to the knights in exchange for protection. However, in chess, the king has almost no power at all; he can only move one space at a time unless the rook is Castling it. (Castling is when one rook has not moved any spaces at all yet, so the king is allowed one extra square to move.) It's also different because the Rook (or Castle) did not really 'attack' people, it just helped defend the king and serfs. (serfs are people almost like slaves, but they own a house and work on a fief for a knight. Their land can never be taken away from them.)
