- Can the King kill in a chess game? The King can certainly kill in Chess if one of the opposing chess pieces does not have any support. For example, a Bishop captures a Pawn that was supporting the King to perform a check. However, the Bishop is not protected by any other chess piece so that the King can capture it outright.
- In chess, a king has the power to move one square in any direction. Its power increases when the game reaches closer to the endgame. It can kill any chess piece but with some limitations, especially when you want to kill your opponent’s king.
Yes, a pawn can take a Queen. Often the best piece to take the Queen is a pawn when the game has moved along a bit and so many of the other pieces are set in strategic positions and cannot engage in free-roaming attacks. The pawn can be there when.

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.
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.
