| Aug 12, 2019 at 18:26 | comment | added | Arlen | @Jeffrey - David was right, I was being precise in my language, Pins can get messy in various time controls and nations, and since adding three words avoided all the mess, it seemed a good idea to add them. (IIRC, capturing the King in FIDE blitz is a losing move, but in US blitz it wins, for one example of the mess.) | |

| Aug 8, 2019 at 17:08 | comment | added | David Richerby | @Jeffrey Suppose my pieces are Kd1, Rh8 and yours are Qd8, Ka8. Your queen is pinned against your king but I'm still in check. If Arlen had said just "If you can capture my king on your next move" people might be confused about whether the pin stops you capturing my king. (Everything's a bit grey since capturing a king is an illegal move anyway so asking whether or not the pin stops it is kind of moot.) | |
| Aug 8, 2019 at 16:28 | comment | added | Kilian Foth | If your pawn promotes adjacent to the enemy king, wouldn't the king already be in check? | |
| Aug 8, 2019 at 15:30 | comment | added | DaG | Why not? If you move your queen besides the opponent's king, the king is “instantly” in check, isn't he? | |
| Aug 8, 2019 at 15:25 | comment | added | Jeffrey | @arlen why "ignoring all pins" ? "If you can capture my king on your next move" would suffice, no? If one of my piece is pinned, you still can't move your king to one of its target location, right? | |
| Aug 8, 2019 at 14:03 | comment | added | Arlen | Simple rule for check: If you can capture my king on your next move, ignoring all pins, I'm in check. | |
