Pinned Rook
Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2016 10:06 pm
Can a pinned piece put a king in check? I had my opponent's rook pinned with my queen. On my opponent's next move he could have put me in check with his other rook. The second rook would have been protected with the pinned rook. Could I have taken the second rook with my king? The only piece protecting the rook putting me in check was the rook that was pinned. So, could the rook putting me in check be protected by a pinned piece?
I've been playing chess for a long time, and this is the first time such a situation has come up. I hope I explained this right.
