Best Answer

No, in Chess, kings cannot capture kings. First, kings can not be captured; they can only be checkmated. Second, kings cannot deliver check to the opposing king.

Kings also can't get right next to each other diagonally, horizontally, or vertically.

A king may capture another chessmen other than the opposing king but cannot move into check according to the rules .

YES.

If your King is adjacent to another piece, it may capture it.

In fact, as the game approaches the end and fewer pieces remain on the board, the King becomes a very powerful piece.

Because it is one of the few pieces that can move in every direction, better players use their Kings aggressively in the endgame.
