To answer lordking's chess question: When a King is in check there are three possible legal actions (aside from resigning): 1) capture the checking piece, 2) move the King out of check, or 3) block the check. Regardless of which action is taken, the King must not be in check after the move is completed. If the King cannot get out of check he is said to be in 'checkmate.'
