Beginner here so no [removed -- MS] comments please. I always thought that if the king was being checked by a piece on a square around him, he could capture it. But I’ve just played a bot that wouldn’t let my king capture a queen that was checking him from one square away. So, what are the rules? Can the king capture the piece checking him, or does it have to be another piece that does it?
If you throw shade at me for being a beginner, I hope your pillow is never cold again
You can capture if the piece isn't being protected.
