Can you use some other pieces in chess to prevent check?
Yes, if the king is in check, the next move must take the king out of check. You do not necessarily have to move the king, you could take the attacking piece, or block the check by moving a piece in the way.
Do you have to say check when you are in target with a king in chess?
Yes. If you have your opponents king under threat, you have to say check. If you have their king in a position to take it and they have no move left to save it, you say checkmate.No, you don't have to say check or checkmate. I used to play in USCF tournaments and we never did.
In chess if you are able to capture a piece can you choose whether to take it or not?
No, except for when the only way to get out of check is to capture the piece that is attacking your king.
Can you take the chess piece that has you in check with the king?
Yes, but only if that results in you not being in check anymore. For instance, if it is the one that is checking you. When your king is in check, your only option is to stop the king from being taken. Otherwise, the game is over and you've lost. There are three ways to stop the king from being taken: move the king out of check; block the piece that has attacked the king; or -- here's the answer to your question -- capture the piece that has attacked the king. Any of your pieces that is able to do so, including the king itself, may capture the attacking piece.
What pieces can a king take?
A King in Chess may take any other piece except another King. The reason is that in order for a king to take another king, the first king would have to move adjacent to the other king, which is an illegal move.
What happens if you do move your own king into check?
Nothing, if the king was knocked over inadvertently. The laying down of a player's king has come to symbolize that player conceding victory to the other player. It is symbolic only and has no meaning unless intended as a symbolic gesture of concession.
Can any chess piece take queen in legal move?
Yes, any piece can take a queen. The only time a King could do it is to get himself out of the queen's check.
When you are in check during a game of chess can you checkmate while not protecting your king?
Yes. The only way is to move a piece so that it blocks your king from check and checks or attacks another piece of the opponent. Another way is for the king itself to attack the piece that is attacking it. Example is if the queen foolishly moves adjacent to the king without being protected by another piece, the king may capture the queen. It is not limited to simply moving out of check.
Can a king take another chess piece in checkmate?
Depends by which rules and standards you are going by. Some say no and if you take another piece to get out of check-mate then it was technically just check, other rules state that its check-mate if all other avenues of movement are blocked and the only way out of check-mate is to take the piece then yes it is possible.
How many checks do you have to make to kill a king?
You don't take/kill a king in chess. You have to put it into checkmate, ie, there are no moves the opponent can make with any piece, to take the king out of check. When this happens, the game is over.
Can a king kill in check?
You cannot capture opposite king in chess. You can attack him with check, and your opponent should immediately defend it. If the opponent has no way to defend, it is checkmate and you are awarded victory of the game.
Can you move your own king into check?
No , if your king is in check you can not counter with placing your opponent's king in check - you must respond to the move on your next turn by dealing with your king in check by moving the king out of check , removing the attacking piece by capture or by blocking the checking piece or you will need to concede / resign from the game .
