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.

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.
