      Nope, the game ends with checkmate. The king is the only piece that can’t actually be captured. It’s in the rules, look it up.

      I believe you think you know what you’re talking about, but you don’t, I promise. The king is never captured, that’s the whole point of the game, and why the king’s point value is infinity. Any move that would result in you putting your king in check is an illegal move, meaning you can never sacrifice your king.

        I prefer realism in my games. Either the enemy king will die, or mine will, like Richard III.
