Hi all,
Imagine the following setup (white to move):
Black king on d1
Black pawn on c2
White queen on b2
Now qa1+ it's white's next move.
In the chess.com iPhone app Black's move c1 is denied. Why is that? Is there a rule I do not know?
Could the pawn on c2 be pinned by a queen on a4, for example?
Well then this position is completely illegal, since white doesn't have a king!

On another chess app the move c1 is possible. So this is a bug, isn't it?

I'm not sure where in the game your theoretical scenario happens.
