kings[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

i have a question about opposing kings occupying adjacent spaces.  I
thought this was legal because kings were nuetral.  I was told this was
illegal, they cannot be next to each other because they would be putting
each other in 'check'.  Can anyone set me straight on this?  Thanks

Martin,<p> The answer to your frequently-asked question is 'Yes, it is (always) illegal to have your king adjacent to the opponent's king.' <p> For more details see <a href='http://chessvariants.com/d.chess/faq.html'>the Rules of Chess FAQ file</a> and the <a href='http://chessvariants.com/d.chess/chess.html'>the Illustrated Rules of Chess</a> page.
