Pinned Defender
Sort:
Is illegal for the king to move to a squared that is defended even if the piece defending that square is pinned?
That’s illegal, yes.

Imagine the case where the king is allowed to be captured. Now look at this situation.
If you move the White king to a4, on Black's turn, the White king will be first captured before the Black king will get captured.
The objective of a game of chess is to attempt to capture the opponent's king (this is shortened to just checkmate without actual removal of the checkmated king).

that was kinda rude, just try your best, and try not to get pinned
Once in a while, being pinned is a good thing.
