Question
Can a king which is in check with a pawn protected by the players king move his king adjacent to the opponents king which is being protected by a bishop
Thanks for the question, John! A King can NEVER move to a square immediately adjacent to his opponent's King. Furthermore, a King can never move to any square that is being attacked by an enemy piece or pawn. Hope that answers your question. Enjoy your chess!
