  • yes, they all can be taken by every other peace.
  • No, there are a few exceptions. A king cannot capture the opposing king or queen. And a bishop cannot capture the opposing bishop of the opposite colour square. Also the king is never actually captured since the game ends in checkmate a move before he would have actually been taken.
  • No there are two exceptions 1 No piece takes the king, the king is placed in peril that he cannot escape and the game ends 2 bishops of opposite colors can not take each other kings can take queens if some poor player places the queen by the king
  • A king respects the other king and they just hobble around a while when they have murdered their own armies with poor decisions
  • All but one. The king cannot be captured, only placed in 'check' or 'checkmate'.
  • just to make the point hit home. i take my opponents king off the board. lol guess i'm the only person who does that then.
  • You guys are missing blitz games, when the king can be taken if the opponent makes an illegal move. Instant game over, and punishment for your illegal move.
  • With a few exceptions already mentioned, yes. There is no hierarchy to the capturing of other pieces.
