I don’t understand. Since there is no check in duck chess, couldn’t white king just capture black queen (Kxg2) following this move?
- thethirdone 4y agoThe white king would then be taken by the knight.
- rococode 4y agog2 is defended by black's knight, so after Kxg2, black captures the king and wins with Nxg2.
- hammock 4y agoYes but there is no check. So why can’t you move your king into check? You are not moving him into checkmate, after all
- buzzy_hacker 4y agoYou can move your king into check, so white’s move of king takes queen is legal. But, it still is losing because black then plays knight takes king.
- hammock 4y agoThanks I missed the rule where game ends by king capture, not checkmate
