Swapping the king and queen

I was in check, so, as far as i know you can swap the king and the queen so they're on each others squares. Now i'm no longer in check...

Is this a real rule, and is there a rule at what point you can use it???

Any help welcome, cheers!

Tommy :D

There is no such rule.

No! It certainly is not a real rule. The only time you can move two pieces at once is when you castle.

curiosity begs, where did you hear that?

you cannot swap the king and the queen, never! ever ever ever! (in one move, or in two as a matter of fact), try reading the rules of chess in "chessopedia"

Hahahaa

Wrong! Swapping the king and queen is very common when your opponent points out you have set the board up wrong ! 

'Interesting' (if not ironic) assumption; though – as I myself have in fact given thought of this [potential maneuver] in the past – it (the [mutual/optional] exchanging of [either/both sides'] initial King-Queen array) could very-well pose as an updated hypothetical [standardized] rule proposal towards the future of modern 21st-century chess!

Mind you, the player 'swapping' under 'check' would virtually lose all (or, at least most) of one's games after the exchange of [likely] minor piece for one's Queen.  However, the ruling could be posited that the 'swapping' of initial King-Queen array (under the proviso that neither piece has not yet moved from their initial square[s]) could be executed (and at any time, but before any opponent's first [initial] 'check') only under the discretion of one's opponent (as a permissible option to execute such a maneuver [i.e. "May I?"]), and not in any way permissible under 'check', regardless of whether or not King and Queen have since moved (and/or, including such where one or both said pieces have moved back to their initial-array- or 'swapped'-squares).

Nonetheless, the rule-change could (or would, in fact) change extant Opening theory to at least some extent, but [I believe] incorporating its value into our current version of the game would allow for new ideas and strategy – and bring about renewed life into – towards keeping the royal game alive till at least the next century.

And that's the way I see it! ...
