In chess can a king switch places with a pawn next to it when in check?

Answer 1

No. You cannot have more than one King on the board, and once you lose the King (checkmated), the game is over. You can, however, exchange the pawn for any ranking chesspiece (Queen, Bishop, etc,) provided the piece you are exchanging for has been taken by the oppsong side. You cannot exchange the pawn for a chesspiece that hasn't been taken. ================================ The last point is in error. The pawn can be promoted to any piece, except a king, by reaching the back row on your opponent's side of the board. But there is no requirement that the piece first be captured by your opponent. And yes! you can have two (or more) queens on the board that way. === As a practical matter, as #2 says, you may have two or more queens-you can identify additional queens by using upside-down rooks (if you have lost any). Otherwise, tie a little ribbon around the pawn you are exchanging to identify it as a queen.

Answer 2

Nothing happens. Only pawns accomplish anything by reaching the other side of the board.

Answer 3

You can choose what piece you would like back. Most people choose their queen.

Answer 4

Yes:) but only if you have your king and castle 2 spaces apart and there are no pieces in between them........
