How does a king capture in chess and what are the rules governing its movements on the chessboard?
Updated: 3/16/2025
In Chess, the king captures by moving to a square occupied by an opponent's piece. The king can move one square in any direction, but cannot move to a square that is under attack by an opponent's piece. Additionally, the king cannot move into check, meaning it cannot move to a square where it would be captured on the opponent's next turn.
