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.
After white moves his king's bishop to c4 on move 3, black takes white's pawn at e4 with his knight from f6.
well nobut if you get into check 3 times in a row its a drawbut that's only if your playing like a professional
The recommended move order for the London System in chess is 1. d4, 2. Nf3, 3. Bf4.
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.
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.

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.
Yes.
In chess, the point system for each piece is as follows: Pawn: 1 point Knight: 3 points Bishop: 3 points Rook: 5 points Queen: 9 points King: Infinite value
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).
The most valuable piece in chess is the King whose capture is the goal of the game itself . The pawn = 1 point , the knight = 3 points , the bishop = 3 , the rook = 5 points and the queen is worth 9 points .
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.
