Coordinator. Takes in `coordination' with king.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]
carlos carlos wrote on Mon, Jan 23, 2006 07:37 AM UTC:
if a coordinator moves along a rank (so NOT to a new rank), can it still
take a piece on that rank which is on the same file as the coordinator's
king?

i.e. black king at h2, black coordinator at g3, white pawn at g2.  can the
coordinator move to g6 and capture the pawn?  it is not technically moving
into the same rank as the pawn.  so i originally thought that this would
not be a capture.  however, the rules say 'at the end of the move' which
make me think it would be a capture.  can anyone confirm this?
