Yes, but only by 1 square (save when castling). They can move horizontally, diagonally, and vertically. They may not move into check, however, nor can they cross a square under attack in castling. Additionally, castling cannot be done when a king is in check.

∙ 15y agoNo, you can't. As soon as your king gets in attacking range of the opponent's king, you would already be checkmated. That is why king vs king games always result in a stalemate. If the gist of this question is whether the simple act of a King getting to the other side's back rank, the answer is still no. As we all know, a pawn that reaches the opponent's back rank becomes any piece the player wants (not just a Queen). But there is no win if a King gets there.

∙ 13y agoYes, but first in the beginning of the game, the king is blocked and unable to move at all by other pieces on the board. So you would have to move some of the pieces surrounding the king in positions that would enable it to move. The king can move in any direction, but can only go in that chosen direction once per move. Hope this help have fun playing!
Also, you can't win by moving just the king alone. if both players did this it would be a draw, if just you did it, you would loose... and quick.

∙ 10y agoNo, it is impossible to capture your opponent's king. They will always have somewhere to move to or some way to block your check. If they don't, then it's either stalemate or checkmate, in which case the game ends and you will not have the pleasure of capturing your opponent's king.
However, in a fun version of Chess commonly known as "Transfers" it is possible to capture your opponent's king.

∙ 11y agoNo because no matter what a king cant take another king, if its a king against a king than its a stalemate or draw, or even if its a king and one knight on one team and just a king on the other, its still a draw, the only way u can win is with the other pieces
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoTechnically, yes but it is all down to what pieces are still standing for your opponent.

What are the four rules for castling?
No doubt this question comes from the new Boy Scouts of America Chess merit badge. I am a United States Chess Federation Master. I know chess. But I can only speculate what answer BSA wants here. No doubt someone with the new merit badge pamphlet could give an authoritative answer to the question, "What four rules should a Boy Scout give as the answer to 'What are the four rules for castling?' question for the Chess merit badge?" Here are the rules I understand for castling. 1. The King cannot have moved. 2. The Rook cannot have moved. 3. The King cannot be in check. 4. The King cannot move through check. 5. The King cannot move into check.
In chess when a king is under immediate attack by one or two of the opponents pieces it is said to be in what?
The king is said to be in check.To get out of check, the opponent must either (1) capture the checking piece, (2) interpose a piece between the checking piece and the king, or (3) move the king out of check.

How do you beat chesty in fable 3?
To win in 4 moves, first move the pawn in front of your king 1 space. Second, move your queen diagonally 2 spaces. Third, move your king-side bishop diagonally 3 spaces. Finally, move either piece forward to take the pawn that is in front of the black king-side bishop. In chess, this is called a "blitzkrieg" a German word that means lightning war which was made popular during WWII to describe Germany's attack strategy.

What does castle means?
Castling is an optional chess move that involves one of a player's rooks and his king. In this move, the king is moved two squares toward the rook he intends to castle with, and the rook is placed on the square the king moved over to assume its final position. There are some restrictions, and they should be reviewed. Situations in which castling is not allowed: 1. If the king or the rook being used in castling has moved. 2. If the king is in check, would have castled through check, or would castle into check. 3. If there are any other pieces between them. Castling, the only legal move where two pieces move simultaneously, is notated as 0-0 if you are castling king side (the rook is only 3 spaces away) or as 0-0-0 if you are castling queen side (the rook is 4 spaces away).
How do you play chess game?
I would like to add on to the other answer above. You can only castle if both your king and the rook you're castling with didn't make a move yet, and you can't castle into a check. You can't castle vertically, since it will require a move to make the rook or the king vertical.

What is a draw in chess called?
There are several situations: Automatic, Agreed upon, Claimed and upheld, Stalemate 1. Automatic Draw: a) If the pieces left are king against king; king against king with only a bishop or knight; or king and bishop against king and bishop, with both bishops on the same colored diagonal b) When a player has only a bare king and the other player oversteps his time, a draw is declared. 2. Agreed upon: The players can agree to a draw for any reasons they choose. 3. Claimed and upheld: a) A player may claim a draw if the position of the pieces is the same for 3 moves. b) A player having the move can claim a draw if it is shown that the last 50 moves have been made by each side without capture of any piece or movement of a pawn. An arbiter reviews the claim and if correct, a draw will be declared. 4. Stalemate When the king of the player having the move is not in check but cannot move his king without placing it in check. Strictly speaking a stalemate is not part of the draw rules but it has the same effect, neither a win nor loss for either side.And it is a draw to be called when the king left only and it can't checkmated by the other player for about 16 moves.
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
