Originally posted by XanthosNZ Capturing the king is never legal even in blitz. The way it actually works is that a player has lost the game by making an illegal move (leaving his king in check).
i disagree. i guess coffeehouse chess just doesn't count, eh?
Originally posted by zebano It is in certain blitz and bughouse rules (when an opponent overlooks a check).
The "capture" is a method of showing that an illegal move has been played. The king is still not actually captured. But then again, if you'd bothered to read the thread, you'd know that.

If it had been N-g2+ the rook would have just taken so there aren't
many other choices. But even in the case of N-f6+ the king would have
just gone to f8.
