Question

How many times can a king be in check before a game would be over?

Answer 1

there is no limit to how many times your king can be checked

Answer 2

Just my two cents.

Most of the previous responses are correct about 3 fold repetition of moves. However, the correct wording of the rule is that "either player may claim a draw". Which means, that if both players choose not to claim a draw, a game could go on forever.

The same wording applies to the so-called 50 move rule, in which either player claim a draw if after 50 moves, no piece is taken and no pawn has moved. Again, the game could go on forever if the neither player makes use of this rule.

Finally, in the late 1980s, FiDe (The International Federation of Chess) held that certain endings were to to be expanded to 100 moves, instead of the usual 50 moves. This rule has been dropped due to confusion it caused the players.

Answer 3

There is no limit.

Answer 4

These answers are all on the right track but are not complete. First of all, there is no theoretical limit on how many times you can be checked, but there is a rule about repetition of any given position. If the same exact position occurs three times in a game and the same player is to move each time, then either player can claim a draw. This doesn't have to involve checks, but it often does.

This is clled a draw by repetition. If it involves checking the king and forcing the repetition, it's known as a draw by perpetual check, but it's just a special instance of the more general rule. It is NOT the same thing as stalemate, when one side is not in check but has no legal move. Stalemate is also a draw, but under a different rule.

Answer 5

There is no limit, unless it is under certain circumstances.  When there is only one other place for the king to move, then the same peice checks again and it moves back to its old spot.  When this is repeated 3 times it's called perpetual check, and the game is a draw

Answer 6

there is a limit. its something like 50, something rediculous in which circumstance the opponent may claim a draw, this is not always a played rule. checkmate wins the game is the best bet. anouther one is claiming that the same position had occured three times.

Answer 7

a billion trillion thousand times

Answer 8

You can't check the king repeatedly and do it over again more than 3 times.  The rule is that if you check it and it has only 1 place to go (i.e, initial position and another safe position) and then after moving there, you check him and he returns to his previous place and do it over again three times.  It's called a Stalemate.  A draw in other words.  Game over.

Answer 9

The king can be in check up to two times simultaneously.

It can be checked infinitely, although the game would probably end.

Check does not influence a checkmate.

The game is won by Having the king in check, not being able to move the king out of check legally, not being able to block check, or take the piece giving check legally.

50 moves without a pawn move or capture can be claimed as a draw, but has to be claimed, as does getting in the same position with it being the same guys go 3 times in a row.

A perpetual check is when a piece can infinitely check a king and the player does continue to check, offering a draw. It is not theoretically binding, however the 50 move rule would kick in as would 3 times reposition.

Stalemate is a position when there are no legal moves, but it is not check.

Answer 10

Actually a king never be check more then twice in a ceratin position(the king can be checked twice do to somthing called a discoverd check ,for example if the black king is on h8 white rook on h1 white pawn on h7 and a random black piece on g7 black can give check with two pieces at the same time the promoted queen or rook and the rook on h1) however there is no limit to how many times a king can be checked throughout a game.(Also to person above, that is called three fold repetition(when any series of moves is repeated 3 times by both sides), any position where the king can't escape checks no matter if those come on two squares or 10 is perpetual check).

Answer 11

50.
