No such thing, if you make illegal move, arbiter will come and decide what to do. This rule is only on Coffee Chess I guess.

Its quite a common rule for casual games, especially blitz games.
well, I guess I just don't play blitz OTB tournaments


Yeah, thats what clock move means. The rule the OP was referring to is called by coffee chess "take king"

That is exactly what is described in the original post. If check is not dealt with, your next turn you take the king.


1. Clock Move-where your turn ends when you touch the clock. Meaning, you can touch your pieces and move them and move them back to make another move before touching the clock...although you can call touch move before the game if both players agree to it.
2. Take the king move - if your king is in check and you don’t move it then the opponent can take your king and the game ends.
I actually think rule #2 should be a fide rule hahaha. It should be your responsibility to know that your king is in check, if not, then you should lose.
First time I have ever heard such a thing. I am deaf so maybe I missed it all these years or these guys simply made up their own rule?
Can someone help me with this
This is true.
