It really depends on what you're asking.

When in check, the only legal moves are moves that would serve to get you out of check.

If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean your king was no longer in check, then yes, the rook may be taken. If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean that your king would be in check by another piece, then no, the rook may not be taken.

Can you castle if you have been put in check?

You can castle if you have been put in check previously in the game and removed the check without moving your king (either by blocking or capturing the opponent's piece). You cannot castle if: (a)you are currently in check; (b)you move your king through an attacked square on the board during the castle; or (c)you have moved your king or castling rook at any point in the game.


Why can't you castle in check and what are the consequences if you try to do so?

In chess, you cannot castle when your king is in check because castling involves moving the king two squares towards a rook, which would not remove the king from the threat of check. If you try to castle while in check, it is an illegal move and the opponent can force you to make a different move instead. This could put your king in a more vulnerable position and potentially lead to losing the game.

No, it is not possible to castle out of checkmate. Castling is only allowed if the king and rook involved have not moved before, there are no pieces between them, and the king is not in check. If the king is in checkmate, it means the game is over and castling cannot save the king.


When playing chess and the black king has been checked can it only move around its position that it is in?

The king is never permanently restricted to moving only within a certain area.If in check, a player must either move the king out of check, block the attack line with another piece, or capture the piece that is putting the king in check. A king cannot castle while in check. A player may also not castle if doing so would result in him being in check (or the rook used in the move to be under attack).A king who has been in check but is no longer in check has all the same capabilities as a king that has never been in check.
