Can A King Kill A King In Chess
by Satish
Hi friend,
my friend and me were playing chess. I (white) have given a check to my friend with the rook (white). The rook is protected by a pawn.
If I move the g-pawn then it is check from opponents rook to me.
My friend killed my rook and saying that you cannot kill my king because it is again check to you.
This scenario I show in attached picture.
FIDE laws of chess: 3.9 The king is said to be 'in check' if it is attacked by one or more of the opponent's pieces, even if such pieces are constrained from moving to that square because they would then leave or place their own king in check. No piece can be moved that will either expose the king of the same colour to check or leave that king. A king cannot kill a king in chess because a king can’t be killed or captured but can only be checked or checkmated. A king can’t check or checkmate another king directly because that would put the first king in check which is illegal. However, a king can. This means there is no legal way for one King to capture another, KxK is a move that can never occur within a game of chess. However, the implication is that a King cannot move into check because it would be captured, and the game ends with checkmate because capture is imminent. Can the King capture a Piece.

Is it right?
1) Can black king kill the white rook in this situation?
2) Is this a draw or win? Who is the winner?
plz give me the answer?

Hi Satish,
the answer is simple.
Rule:
A king can’t capture a piece that is protected.
In this position the black king can’t capture the rook because the white rook is protected by the g-pawn. That’s it!
White is the winner because Black is checkmate.

I hope this helps.
