Can you take a checked chess peace?

In normal chess rules, the only piece that can be "checked" ... put in check ... is the opposing King. Technically, the King is never actually "taken", but rather put in checkmate; a state in which it is in check and no legal move to get it out of check exists. The game ends at this point, so there's little point in actually "taking" the King.


In chess can king kill anything left or right?

Yes, as long as the piece he's killing is only one space away and if it will not put him in check.


Can a king attack the piece that put it in check?

Yes, it can, as long as it doesn't put the king in check. PS, it's "capture", not "kill".


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 .


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 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.


Can a player in chess put themself in checkmate by move a piece that in front of king exposing his king to other players piece?

Only if the piece won't be able to attack him then. Example: moving in front of a bishop is okay. Moving in front of a pawn is okay. Moving in front of a knight is okay. King, rook, or queen? No ma'am/sir.

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.


In the game of chess if it is not a king can it kill a king?

Yes sir... It's on the manual... please read it. Yes, the entire object of the game is to see which side can defeat the other's king first. The king is usually the most difficult to kill, because players usually try to guard it closely and keep it from harm in order to win.


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.


Can a king kill another piece?

Yes, as long as it doesn't put him in check.


Can a king move into check?

No. In addition to moving the King, check can be escaped by capturing the checking piece or blocking its path. Of course a Knight cannot be blocked, so that option is not available in that case. Also note that the King cannot avoid check by "castling".
