Alison: No. The first capture ends the move. Your question could also be asked of Queens, Bishops, and Rooks for non-diagonal (orthogonal) captures)... and even Kings. In all cases, the single-capture ends the move.

Can you move a king to the opponents side of the board and redeem a captured piece?
you are on the wrong page, you should read here http://www.chessvariants.org/d.chess/chess.html
I would like to introduce you wth a new chess variant and cannot! here is the web site where you will find information : www.fortuit.fr best regards to the whole team Luc Queyrel : lqfortuit@orange.fr
COMMENT METTRE ECHECS ET MAT, ET CES CONSEQUENSE?

i heard that you always have to trap the king in chess.if you put him in check and the opponent does not make the right move, can you just eliminate it with one piece?
Comment posted 2005: any thoughts since? Dear Hans and colleagues I was having a game of XiangChi with another member of our club and dropped by to see what might be new on your site; I'm so impressed with all the effort you have put in on the content and quality of this and other games since I was last here. Keep up the good work! I was also vastly impressed with the neat comments system. Is that something you've devised yourselves, or a package that you've found somewhere? I was just about to sit down with some colleagues here and try to implement something similar for our own website at work (www.sheu.org.uk), but would prefer not to re-invent the wheel if I can avoid it. Is the PHP coding something you can point me to, or are prepared to share? Thanks very much Dave Regis david.regis@sheu.org.uk May your pieces harmonise with your Pawn structure and your sacrifices be sound in all variations D _ / '()/~ Dave Regis &8^D* Exeter Chess Coaching Page etc.: || \_/| = DrDave on FICS http://www.exeterchessclub.org.uk/ ~\ / '...what else exists in the world but chess?' _|||__SHEU -- NABOKOV 'Contribute!' -- Doug Attig

Great site but you shoud know that the piece you call Mao is actually Ma. Ma is the Chinese word for horse, not Mao which can mean cat, feather or hair, rivet and thick or dense, depending on the tone.
Not really so easy for a newb like me, so it defeats the purpose of learning, also, it is confusing as most of the time we can't trace the play the comp made, if we can't SEE the moves, again, how can we learn ? thanks
Why is there no 'maharaja' in the initial position?
How does one become a Contributor to Chess Variants? I have a new Bishop Adjustment Rule that I want to publish (next to Carlos Cetina's BCR rule), and I have 3 news variants that I've created that I also want to publish.

Jose, you are now a contributor. Please feel free to publish your variants...
Thanks David. I did my first contributions, the Modern Random Chess variant: http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSmodernrandomch and the new Bishop Adjustment Rule: http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSthebishopadjus
Admins, Can someone please update the Query page on 'M' items below: http://www.chessvariants.org/index/mainquery.php?type=Any&startswithletter=M&orderby=LinkText&displayauthor=1&displayinventor=1 to include the Modern Random Chess Game Courier preset: http://play.chessvariants.org/pbm/play.php?game%3DModern+Random+Chess%26settings%3DMRC Thanks.
Hi Admins, A corrections for the What's New Page: http://www.chessvariants.org/index/whatsnew.php For the week ending May 14, 2008 there are two Game Courier Presets entries for Modern Random Chess. The one that says Author Jose Carrillo, Inventor Gabriel Maura, is actually for Modern Chess (not Modern Random Chess). The other one is OK. A request: for the informational page for MRC64, can you add the text description 'Modern Random Chess 64' next to the link? (just like it was done for the MRC64 Game Courier Preset entry). Thanks.
So I was curious; why can a pawn, upon reaching the opposite side of the chess board, not remain a pawn? I personally see no reason why this should not be included in the rules. I might even go so far as to suggest the pawn be allowed to begin his trek back across to where he came from.
I THINK YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT 3RDMILLENNIUMCHESS, YOU WILL FIND IT TO BE THE COMPLETION OF CHESS. GOOGLE IT AND GET IN TOUCH WITH SHANNON ,
I was playing a game of chess yesterday and my king had been put in check, but on my turn all i had to do was move my rook and then my opponents king would be check mated. Is it legal to check mate my opponent while i myself am in check?
If your King is in check you must do one of the following: (a) move your king out of check, (b) block the check (interpose), or (c) capture the checking piece or pawn. b and c do not work in cases of double-check and b will not work against knight checks.
You could not checkmate your opponent while leaving your own king in check.
please help me to log on as i am playing games with family. I think my pass word is 4716364? my e-mail is tririver@earthlink.net If my pass word is correct and/or incorrect please e-mail to confirm. Thank you.. ray costello.

Hi Ray, I cannot find you in the database. What is your userid?
When an opponent puts you in checkmate but does not realize it and calls check, is it still checkmate or does the fact that he did not call checkmate have some bearing?

My question is:
Can a pawn capture two pawns if they are in a subsequent diagonal position. For example if there are 2 white pawns in 2 diagonal spaces can they be captured in one move with the black pawn moving 2 diagonal spaces in one go?
