What is the objective of chess?
The objective of chess is to checkmate the king, where the king is in check by a piece and it cannot block the check, move to another square, or capture the piece checking the king.
In chess can the king attack to get out of check?
Yes, the king may capture the piece that is checking it.Yes, but only if that piece is on a square adjoining him, as a king has mobility of only one square per move.
How does a king capture in chess and what are the rules governing its movements on the chessboard?
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.
Can pawns move diagonally backwards in chess?
No, pawns in chess can only move diagonally forward to capture an opponent's piece. They cannot move diagonally backwards.
If chess king cannot move without going into check - checkmate or stalemate or draw?
If the king is not currently in check and has nowhere to move without being in check, it is stalemate, which is a draw. However if any other piece of his can make a move (i.e a pawn), then it is not stalemate, and you are forced to move whatever piece can be moved.
Is the king in chess your goal?
The goal in chess, or the object of the game, is to checkmate your opponent's king. A king is in checkmate when he is attacked and no matter what move he attempts to make he is still being attacked (or in check). There are three ways to get out of check: move the king to a safe square, capture the checking piece, or block with another piece. If a player is in check and cannot get out of check, he is in checkmate and has lost the game.
In chess if the king is in check could you move another piece to save the king?
Yes.
What does the king look like in chess and how does it move on the board?
The king in chess is represented by a tall piece with a cross on top. It can move one square in any direction on the board, but cannot move to a square that is under attack by an opponent's piece.
Can you move your own king into check?
No , if your king is in check you can not counter with placing your opponent's king in check - you must respond to the move on your next turn by dealing with your king in check by moving the king out of check , removing the attacking piece by capture or by blocking the checking piece or you will need to concede / resign from the game . Look to the related link below regarding the rules of chess .
Can you capture your own piece in chess?
No, you cannot. It is illegal to take one of your own pieces on any move.
What is the chess tactic known as a pin?
For example the king is under check from a bishop. The player with the king in check decides to move a piece to block the bishop. After that piece steps into the line between the king and the bishop, that piece cannot move until either the bishop moves to a different location or the king moves to a different location.
In chess can you move into checkmate?
No. You may not move INTO check. If that is the only move available, it would then depend whether or not you are already in check. If you are in check and cannot move to a square where you are not in check, it is checkmate, the game is over, and you have lost. If you are not in check, but cannot move without going into check, and you have no other piece or pawn that can move, then it is stalemate, and the game is a draw.
