In chess cant a king only move forward on its first go?
No, a king can move one square in any direction on its first move or it can 'castle.' The pawn is the only piece that is restricted to forward-only movement. The pawn may only move forward (toward the enemy), one square at a time, unless it's making an opening move, in which case it can move one or two squares. The pawn can only change direction to take a piece -- a pawn can take a piece that is one square forward diagonally (that is, up and right, or up and left one square). The pawn cannot take a piece directly in front of it.
How do you move koi fish from pond to pond?
You can simply fill up a cooler with your pond water and move the fish. Once you get to the new home, slowly add the new water to the cooler because the fish will go into shock from the immediate temperature change. The process should take around 20 to 30 minutes.
Can a bishop take 2 pieces in one move in chess?
No, each chess piece can only take one in a single movement.
When a player takes the hand off of the piece is the move final?
In most chess tournaments, the answer is 'yes.' In non-tournament games players can do whatever they want. Also in chess tournaments, if a player touches his own piece, he must move that piece (if possible). That's why, when castling, you must move the king two spaces first -- to signal that you are castling. Otherwise, when you touch the rook, that is the piece you must move and thus you are prevented from castling (at least on the side of the rook you touched). Furthermore, if a player touches an opponent's piece, he must take that piece (if possible). These are, of course, very formal rules. Usually, when a couple of 'woodpushers' sit down for a game, they can even 'take back' moves.
Can any chess piece take queen in legal move?
Yes, any piece can take a queen. The only time a King could do it is to get himself out of the queen's check.
Can you take up an apponents piece in chess without moving?
Yes, you can. There is a move called "en passant" that enables you to take a pawn without moving. If the opponent's pawn jumps two spaces in its first move to avoid being taken by your pawn, "en passant" is in effect and you can take his pawn.
What pieces can a king take?
A King in Chess may take any other piece except another King. The reason is that in order for a king to take another king, the first king would have to move adjacent to the other king, which is an illegal move.
In the the game checkers can you take a king apart if your trapped?
Yes, in fact if you're trapped you can move the top piece of the king with another piece.
Can you use some other pieces in chess to prevent check?
Yes, if the king is in check, the next move must take the king out of check. You do not necessarily have to move the king, you could take the attacking piece, or block the check by moving a piece in the way.
In chess can you retrace your move?
No; in chess, once you have touched a piece, you must move it. The only exception to this rule is in the case of adjusting the piece within its square. Some people play by the "the move is complete when you let go of the piece" rule, but this isn't an official rule. Officially, you touch it, it must move. Once you've moved it, you can only move it back if doing so constitutes a legal move for that piece and the current position, and only as a separate turn. In short, there are no "take-backs".

In chess if you are able to capture a piece can you choose whether to take it or not?
No, except for when the only way to get out of check is to capture the piece that is attacking your king.
