The king captures in the same way that it moves, one square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
The king can capture any enemy piece or pawn except for the opposing king, but only if the piece is not defended by any other piece. In other words, the king can capture as long as it's not moving into check.
well, that is pretty easy..thank you very much.. u know, for a beginner like myself , this little question could have kept me eating myself up..lol...
I will keep it in mind. :D
p.s. : It is pretty classy that kings do not capture each other, do not u think?
lol
if the peice is looking for danger the king can never capture it
Bro sacrificed his queen for a check.
how come this website doesn't let me capture the king with a queen???
Seriously?
Insted of making fun of it. I think wud be cool if this thread morphed into looking at the real chess matter of the King being a strong offense piece itself. Like if its whole defense wasnt the point of the whole game. The king can be a bad a*s. Its power is the factor that wins many endgames. I know there is an estimate that gets argued about what its material count would be if it had one and that experts say it might be 4.3 or something. Any one know a link to where that stuffs posted pls post or send to my inbox.
can a king capture queen
The king captures like any other piece does.
But for obvious reasons, the piece has to be completely unprotected.
Even if the defending piece is pinned, the king may still not capture.
"The value of the king is undefined as it cannot be captured or traded during the course of the game. Chess engines usually assign the king an arbitrary large value, such as 200 points or more, to indicate that the loss of the king due to checkmate trumps all other considerations. During the endgame, the king will often assume a more active role. It is better at defending nearby pieces and pawns than the knight is and better at attacking them than the bishop is. Overall, this makes the king more powerful than a minor piece but less powerful than a rook, so its fighting value is about four points."
