None of the chess pieces may move to a square occupied by another chess piece of the same color. However, a piece may move onto a square occupied by an opponent's piece. When this occurs, the opponent's piece is 'captured' and is permanently removed from the chessboard. The attacking piece is moved to the square of the former captured piece.
If in the position above it is White's turn to move, it is stalemate - draw. there are no legal moves left for the White king -- all adjacent squares are under attack. Although the White king has no place to go, it is not under attack and, therefore, not checkmated. This type of a draw is called a stalemate. Nobody wins.
A draw will also will occur if a position is repeated three times (not necessarily consecutively) when it the same player's turn to move, the game is a draw.
A draw through insufficient mating material: If neither player has enough pieces ever to be able to checkmate the other, the game is a draw. This would be true, for example, if only the two kings were left on the board, or if one player had only a king and a knight and the other only a king. A king and pawn, however, are enough to win provided the pawn can be promoted.

It depends. Not on Yahoo but some chess clubs (where you play over the board - not on the Internet) actually do allow it when using a fast time control (i.e. with a game clock).
The reason it is sometimes allowed is because if there are only a few seconds left on the clock you could try to trick your opponent by moving your king next to his, then hit your clock. To avoid stopping the clock and getting a tournament director the club's house rules may allow your opponent to simply capture your king (and the game would be over).
In rated tournament play this would not be allowed and your opponent would have to get a director to penalize you for making an illegal move.

No, in chess this is an illegal move because in order for your king to capture your opponent's king they would have to be standing right next to one another. Doing this would be putting yourself in check which is always illegal.

you're perfect, it would make extra experience. that's probable precisely how chess became performed even as it originated, because that's less demanding. Even the be conscious "checkmate" from the Persian "shah mat" ability "the king is useless," no longer that the king is purely cornered. I actually have heard that the rule of thumb about by no ability surely taking the king became presented out of respect for royalty. taking section in a sport the position you killed kings became perchance no longer a sensible determination once you lived lower than the rule of thumb or contained in the business corporation of an offended king. keep in mind that chess became commonly performed in royal courts, it really is why that's commonly referred to as the royal sport. of direction, the guidelines are unlikely to modify at this element after 500 years of worry-free acceptance. Any deviation will fall lower than chess differences, which each person can play by contract.

No.. because in order to capture your opponent's king , his king must move to 1 square around your king and that move is illegal because king cant move to the place which it can be checked.

Nope. In order to capture a king, the opposing king has to be on an adjacent space. In a king on king situation, that would require one king to put itself into check, which, of course, is not allowed.

No. You are not allowed to move the king next to the opponents king. If you are allowed to do that, that would put both kings in check. You can not move yourself into check.

No. A person's king can not be moved to a position where it can be captured. Either your oponent made an illegal move if he placed his king next to yours, or you made an illegal move and placed yours next his. It is the same as putting your king in the path that any other piece could take it. Not legal

No. A king wouldn't be allowed to move close enough to be captured.

I don't think so, kings can only move one space so his king would have to move right next to yours so that it would be your turn and you could take the king, but kings can't move themselves into check or mate obviously, so I am thinking no
