Originally posted by bot 6its legal and was probably a discovered check on your part... ie you moved a piece in front of a bishop, rook, or queen, that was in line with your opponents king, to interpose with his check thus taking out his threat and creating your own.
i had this game the other day. i cant remember how the peices were, but he put me in check, then i simultainiously removed his threat and put him in check. is that a legal move? what is that called?
