g4 qh5 is an excellent example of a king sac. Now, how do I put freaking carriage returns in a comment?????
King Sacrifices
Sort:
If a king - whilst protected- moves next to the opposing king, putting it in check, maybe that wouldn't be a king sacrifice but a kings gambit? The logic being White moves into check, but then black is also in check and if it takes the king it is in check again. So basically white is taking a check but is forcing a double check on black.
Could that be possible?
What kind of chess are you talking about?
As far as I know king could not step beside the other king? 😁😉

In the field of chess composition, puzzles are made with multiple kings - though I do not know if anyone plays games with them. Common puzzle rules for multiple kings are:
(a) you can only checkmate all kings simultaneously, or (b) you must checkmate the last standing king but first all the others kings of the same color must have been captured. Kings can capture kings as well!
Some months ago I co-authored a puzzle where 6 black kings were checkmated simultaneously!
