It really depends on what you're asking.
When in check, the only legal moves are moves that would serve to get you out of check.
If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean your king was no longer in check, then yes, the rook may be taken. If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean that your king would be in check by another piece, then no, the rook may not be taken.
Neither player's Kings may move into check at any given time. A King may never move next to another King, because it will simply get captured.
no he also cant move into check via castle
Absolutely, but the process involves a little different location of the moved Rook, depending if it is the Queen's rook or the King's rook.
You can castle if you have been put in check previously in the game and removed the check without moving your king (either by blocking or capturing the opponent's piece). You cannot castle if: (a)you are currently in check; (b)you move your king through an attacked square on the board during the castle; or (c)you have moved your king or castling rook at any point in the game.
Because it's against the rules.
Macbeth brings back King Duncan's bloody daggers to the castle after he murders him.
The king is never permanently restricted to moving only within a certain area.If in check, a player must either move the king out of check, block the attack line with another piece, or capture the piece that is putting the king in check. A king cannot castle while in check. A player may also not castle if doing so would result in him being in check (or the rook used in the move to be under attack).A king who has been in check but is no longer in check has all the same capabilities as a king that has never been in check.
Yes, as long as when castling you don't move your king thru a check.
No. But that is the usual reason for a King to castle (move left or right away from the center). When the King castles kingside (O-O), he arrives at KN1 (g1 or g8) behind the knight's pawn. This also develops the King's Rook.The castle queenside (O-O-O) is usually a defensive move if the kingside is under attack. Instead of moving 2 squares kingside (with rook jumping over), the king moves 2 squares toward the queenside, ending up at QB1.The player may castle at any time, provided that he has never moved the King or the Rook he is castling with. The rules of check provide that:1) The King cannot castle if he is in check2) The King cannot castle into check (final position)3) The King cannot castle "across" check (enemy attacking square the king crosses)It is, however, legal even if the rook being moved is under attack, as the King never passes or occupies the rook's position.
It is impossible to checkmate in 2 moves in this situation. The only sequence I see is a draw. K-f2, K-f3, R-h4, draw. Anyone else??
Castling involves both rook and King moving to their respective squares whether it be a King-side castle or queen-side castle . When castling , the king moves two squares towards the rook , and the rook moves over the king to the next square , i.e. , black's king on e8 and rook on a8 move to : king c8, rook d8 (Long Castling) , white's king on e1 and rook on h1 move to : king g1, rook f1 (Short castling) ~ look to the related link below for additional information regarding castling .
No , the king cannot directly check the opposing king himself, since this would place the first king in check.
Castling in chess is usually used to protect the king and/or begin the development of the rook. There are some restrictions. First, there can't be any pieces between the king and the rook. Second, you can't castle if you have already moved the king or the rook you want to castle with. Third, if the square beside the king and between the king and the rook is under attack, you cannot castle. (You'd be moving the king "across" an attacked square, which is not allowed.) Lastly, you cannot castle if your king is in check. (You cannot castle to get out of check.) To castle, first move the king two squares towards the rook on the side you wish to castle on. Then pick up the rook and put it on the square that king "passed over" when it was moved to castle.
