Except at blitz, a player whose opponent blunders so as to allow capture of the king would be required to let the opponent substitute a different move, and a player who puts his opponent into a position where there are no moves that don't put the king in check would be required to offer a draw (the opponent would have to either accept the draw or forfeit). | |
