Can the king move on check?

Yes, the king can move out of check, provided that doing so is a legal move (i.e. does not move into check again). If it cannot and there is no other way to defend the check, then it is mate.


What when you move a piece that causes your king to be in check?

Uncovering the king and it's exposure to check is an illegal move .


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 . Look to the related link below regarding the rules of chess .


In chess can the king attack to get out of check?

Yes, the king may capture the piece that is checking it.Yes, but only if that piece is on a square adjoining him, as a king has mobility of only one square per move.


Can the king move when he is in check?

Yes as long as he isn't in checkmate or he cant move into another check.


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 can you move into checkmate?

No. You may not move INTO check. If that is the only move available, it would then depend whether or not you are already in check. If you are in check and cannot move to a square where you are not in check, it is checkmate, the game is over, and you have lost. If you are not in check, but cannot move without going into check, and you have no other piece or pawn that can move, then it is stalemate, and the game is a draw.


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.


Can king move in L shape at 1st check?

No.


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.


What three conditions are necessary to turn check to checkmate?

In chess, in order for a check to be a checkmate, there are three specific conditions: 1) The king must not be able to move out of check. 2) The attacking piece must not be capture-able. 3) No pieces must be able to block the check.


In chess if the king is in check could you move another piece to save the king?

Yes.
