No, 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.
Yes, 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.
No, 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.
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
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.
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).
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.
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 .
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.
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
