No you cannot do that. Even if a piece is pinned and moving it would expose the king to check, it is still not possible to place your own king in the line of that piece.
Super dumb question about a rule.
Sort:
I thought the same, but I went for sure 
Thank you all

First of all I beg your pardon for my poor english then I take the opportunity in this post for another dumb question without opening another trhead.
When i'm plaing chess i don't usually (sometime i do very often no ) recognize the opponent's mistakes but with the evaluation window on the right of my page i can't immediately recognize and try to exploit them.
I know obviously that the opponent has the same window but i think it's not completely "right" for a chess game.
What do you think ?

I believe he is referring to the black, and white bars after each move that measures how long you took on each move.

Those aren't evaluation bars. All they do is tell you how long you (or your opponent) spent thinking about a move.

Hi
I've played roughly a 1000 game, and yesterday a question slapped my mind. It'll be difficult to explain, but i'll try.
So the situation is: The opponent's king is attacked by one of my pieces, let's say it"s a rook, and he moves his bishop between my rook and his king(so covers the check)Now can i move my king in the next turn to a square that would be attacked by that bishop?(the one that he can't move cause he covers the king with that piece)
Thanks !
Think about it this way: if you were playing until the king was captured instead of to checkmate, your king would be captured first, as he'd use the pinned piece to take your king. Then you wouldn't be able to take his king because you'd have already lost.

I'm very surprised by my rating....conforming to my IQ should be around 150 in a optimistic way

Nothing is a foolish question that’s why we are here , it would be nice if you watched a 10 min beginners to chess video , it will help answer some of your questions. Anyways you cannot move a piece that is protecting your king from a check it’s called being pinned .
I don't have some questions, only this one
I'm pretty sure I had this info somewhere in my brain but it was deeply in the subconscious part.
I've argued this before.... HOW CAN A PIECE HAVE INFLUENCE OVER SQUARES IT CAN'T LEGALLY MOVE TO??? Ridiculous. White should be able to castle in this situation, but no.

Simple: suppose one can capture the king. Who would capture first?

I assume you're trying to say, 'since the king "walks" in front of the rook, it could technically be captured by the rook if it were allowed to do so.' BUT IT AIN'T ALLOWED TO DO SO. I've heard that argument before and ain't buying it.
It's as if the rook has magical powers over squares it can't legally move to and the pin doesn't even matter. THE PIN MATTERS! The rook is stuck and should have no power over any other square than the one it's pinned on.
Someday when I'm king of the world, this rule will be changed.

Feel free to start your own chess variant. Give it a snazzy name. Have fun with it.

Good idea. I'll call it "chess" ... instead of "chess, and some rules don't make any damn sense" as it is now.
I hate this response..... "well these are the current rules, so no matter how stupid, I support them." At least acknowledge that it's illogical.?. No?
