A very common defense is castling. When the board is rook/empty square/empty square/king the king can move two spaces toward the rook, and the rook can move on the other side of the king. This is allowed to be done in one turn. Before: rook/empty square/empty square/king after: empty square/king/rook/empty square

If a king is in check and after it moves another piece takes it is the game over?
This hypothetical position would never come true, because when the king is in check, the king may not move to a square where it may be taken. This is called an illegal move. Therefore, the game is not over unless the person who is moving the king resigns or is checkmated. Also, a king may never move to a square where it may be captured. A king may not be captured; it may only be either stalemated or checkmated.

Can a king capture a king in draughts?
This is what someone said: No. For that to happen in the previous move the king put himself at check, in an adjacent square to the enemy king's square, which is an illegal move. But I say: Yes. the king can capture another king ONLY if the king is protected like a white queen protects a white king.
In the game chess can a king move to a square next to another king?
If by moving up to a square, you mean an adjacent square, yes, as long as the square is not threatened by any opposing piece. This is the only way a King can attack another piece. A King cannot enter any square that is attacked by an opposing piece, i.e. place himself in check. He also cannot castle across an attacked square (king's bishop 1-f1, or queen 1-d1), but it does not matter if the rook or queen's knight squares are attacked, because he does not cross or land on those squares. He cannot castle out of check.
How does king kill in chess?
The king can move one square in any direction. If it moves into a square that is occupied by another piece, it takes that piece only if the king is not endangered if it gets next to it in order to capture it.
Can a castle in chess move diaginally?
The castle (properly called a rook) can only move in straight lines, vertically or horizontally. It can move any number of spaces in these directions. It can also participate in a move called "castling." This is when the king moves two squares sideways towards either rook, and the rook hops over it to the intermediate square. In no circumstances can a rook move diagonally.
